"cfgmgr" is a command, which scans all the busses and activates and registers newly found hardware. It creates entries in /dev, etc.. Run it, whenever you want the machine to become aware of something that has changed (new tape installed, new HD attached, etc.) cfgmgr is run automatically at boot time so the windows-like "reboot the machine" will effectively work either.
It is also possible to delete devices (see "rmdev") if they have - for whatever reason - become entangled somehow and recreate them by a "cfgmgr" run.
"lscfg" and "lsdev" are both commands to look at your current configuration, but from different points of view. "lsdev" is more device-oriented while "lscfg" is more hardware-oriented. A good command is "lscfg -vp", which lists the "vital product data", i.e. firmware releases and even parts numbers ("FRU numbers").
Welcome to AIX, btw., the best Unix in the industry. ;-))
I hope this helps.

DESCRIPTION
This reference page lists and describes attributes for the TURBOchannel Bus (tc) kernel subsystem. Refer to the sys_attrs(5) reference page

For this subsytem, users should modify only the following attribute and do so only for the purpose described. Any other visible attributes
cannot or should not be modified.
Enables (nonzero value) or disables (0) console messages that appear at boot time and runtime for use by device driver developers to
collect information about a driver configuration problem. A developer can set this attribute by using the sysconfig or sysconfigdb
utility. See sysconfig(8), sysconfigdb(8), and cfgmgr(8) for more information on options for modifying attributes and reconfiguring
a kernel subsystem.
Default value: 0 (disabled)
