Newbie Questions for AIX !!!
Hi Guys, I am new in this forum and new with AIX however not new with Power System. I have worked with iSeries for many years. Now supporting AIX on Power.

Here are some basic questions I have.

1. I am using Putty to connect from my PC to the AIX boxes. Is there any other (better) program to use and to connect?

2. How can I know which type of Hardware I am using? I know some of these boxes are blades and some IBM Power. Model, HW configuration, memory, etc.

This all for now folks.

aix commands
hi
you try with
Smilie prtconf or
lsconf
Displays system configuration information.
prtconf -s : displays the processor clock speed.
prtconf -k : displays the kernel type in use.
prtconf -m : displays memory.
snap Gathers system configuration information.

lsattr -El sys0 | grep model

Will give you the model # regardless if it is a power machine, or a blade server.
