Finding the type of AIX server using command line

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.

How I wish I had an explicit answer for you. You can check the system model on IBM website to know exactly.

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 model, if you are in the field long enough.

I remember few of them on top of my head
Code:
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.
