Hi All,
I am trying to find out type of AIX servers , for eg : server A is eServer p5 520 , server B is pSeries 630-6C4 etc.
Can some one suggest me the best way to retrive this information through command line.
is there any direct command or script by which i can retrieve this information or i have to do mapping with the model number ?
Please advise.
The one I know (relatively closest) is prtconf use | pg to read page wise. In there the very 1st line has something called System Model .
prtconf
yes ibmtech and blackrageous you are correct , but i want to retrive complete description of model such as : eServer p5 520 , pSeries 630-6C4 etc.
Caould you please let me know by any means we can retrive this , preferable through command lien ?
Thanks a lot for your reply and information 
How I wish I had an explicit answer for you. You can check the system model on IBM website to know exactly.
ok ibmtech..so there is no way to retrive this information from system..(
I think then i have to write a script or simmilar to tha twhich will have all the list of model numbers of IBM servers and then find out to which series those servers belongs to...
I wont be surprised if IBM comes up with such a command, but to the best of my knowledge I have not come across any such direct command.
But, you will understand the actual power type by reading the system mode l, if you are in the field long enough.
I remember few of them on top of my head
9113 550 P5
9117-MMA 570 p5+
9119-FHA 595 P6
8202-E4C p7 720
9117-MMC p7 770
9117-MMD p7 770+
Note: You might see the same system model for other higher models, such as 9117-MMx for 780(where x=C,D) , and the same goes with 5XX.
Don't quote me on that.
LOL, i have already filed a PMR. ;-))
Seriously: you can run a
lsattr -El proc0
and/or a
lscfg -vp
to get more detailed information about the system components in case you have to decide if it is a p5 or a p7 system.
There is also the HMC: generate and a system plan to get information about the managed system in question. This should work for all models down to POWER5-systems (not the p690 "Regatta", but I doubt there ist such a system still out there).
I hope this helps.

I'd always use
lsattr -El sys0
The model name, serial number, firmware version etc. are all there. of course, you need to refer to the IBM website to translate the model into the marketing name.
:o I've got a p690 still in use, oh and an M80 & four H70s :o
