High-Level Perspective
From a high-level, user-oriented perspective, device configuration comprises the basic tasks that are listed in this section.
- Adding a device to the system
- Deleting a device from the system
- Changing the attributes of a device
- Showing information about a device
From a high-level, system-oriented perspective, device configuration provides the basic task of automatic device configuration: running the configuration manager program.
A set of high-level commands accomplish all of these tasks during run time: chdev, mkdev, lsattr, lsconn, lsdev, lsparent, rmdev, and cfgmgr. High-level commands can invoke device methods and low-level commands.
