Please understand: "smit" is an interface, not a tool in itself. Anything, which could be done via SMIT could be done with normal commands too. On the other hand, if there is anything you would like SMIT to do and it doesn't do it you could create some SMIT panels yourself and have this functionality added. (Some even have created their own SMITs for some specialized things. The procedure is documented in IBMs OS documentation.
Further: a HMC is a specialized system to administer an LPARed POWER4-, POWER5- or POWER6-system. If you want to change/define/configure/erase/start/close/whatever an LPAR, you have to do it from the HMC - with or without SMIT. As IBM has pretty much closed the HMC against any system administrators attempt to configure it (they claim its not a "normal" machine, but an "appliance" - like a toaster - and you have no business changing it in any way) the chances that you will SMIT get to run on this system are *very* slim.
I hope this helps in understanding.

Hi,
I want to know if there is any command which will tell me if an AIX machine is a LPar or not. I am using "lparstat -i" but it does not work on all AIX machines. Is there any generic command by whose output I will come to know if it is an LPar or not?
Please help.
Thanks,

Name
minfo - print the parameters of a MSDOS filesystem
Note of warning
This manpage has been automatically generated from mtools's texinfo documentation, and may not be entirely accurate or complete. See the
end of this man page for details.
Description
The minfo command prints the parameters of a MS-DOS file system, such as number of sectors, heads and cylinders. It also prints an mformat
command line which can be used to create a similar MS-DOS file system on another media. However, this doesn't work with 2m or XDF media,
and with MS-DOS 1.0 file systems

Mlabel supports the following option:
v Prints a hexdump of the boot sector, in addition to the other information

Viewing the texi doc
This manpage has been automatically generated from mtools's texinfo documentation. However, this process is only approximative, and some
items, such as crossreferences, footnotes and indices are lost in this translation process. Indeed, these items have no appropriate repre-
sentation in the manpage format. Moreover, not all information has been translated into the manpage version. Thus I strongly advise you
to use the original texinfo doc. See the end of this manpage for instructions how to view the texinfo doc.
* To generate a printable copy from the texinfo doc, run the following commands:
./configure; make dvi; dvips mtools.dvi
* To generate a html copy, run:
./configure; make html
A premade html can be found at `http://www.gnu.org/software/mtools/manual/mtools.html'
* To generate an info copy (browsable using emacs' info mode), run:
./configure; make info
The texinfo doc looks most pretty when printed or as html. Indeed, in the info version certain examples are difficult to read due to the
quoting conventions used in info.
