SYSGEN provides utilities for listing the configured paths and
associated devices of a system. It does not, however, provide
a utility for listing the devices actually attached to the system.
(A valid configured path does not require an associated device.)
The initial system loader (ISL) provides the ODE
utility for 9X8LX and 9X8RX systems and for other systems the
IOMAP utility for
locating the devices attached to a system.
A list of attached peripherals aids the system manager
in assessing a system's needs, deciding where (on which
I/O paths) to add or remove peripheral
devices, resolving I/O path conflicts (as with SYSGEN
and NMMGR), and restoring or copying a
system's configuration.
