    The five columns of the Display Hardware Status screen have the following meanings:
    • The first column is an input field used to select a device to display additional information.
    • The second column of output is the device's resource name.
    • The third column of output is the device's PCI/SCSI location code. The format of this field is PCI Location/SCSI Host:SCSI Bus:SCSI Target:SCSI Lun.
    • The fourth column of output is the device's description. Type t to toggle this field to be the device's Vendor/Product ID.
    • The fifth column of output is the device's hardware status. For an overview of the possible disk, disk array and I/O adapter hardware statuses, see Disk array overview.
  3. To view information on a specific device, select the desired device with a 1 and press Enter.
    If multiple pages of information are available, you can press f to page down (forward) or b to page up (backward).
