Edit online

Use the viewLibraryVPD command to show vital product data (VPD) for the library. This command is useful if an administrator or service engineer needs to see the model or serial number or other information specific to the library.

Syntax

viewLibraryVPD -ssl > <output-filename.csv>

Parameters

-ssl: Required if SSL (HTTPS) is enabled.
> <output-filename.csv>: (Optional.) Instead of sending the command output to your display, this option sends the output to a .csv (comma-separated variable) file that can be opened and saved in a spreadsheet. By default, the file is saved in the directory where the CLI .jar file is stored. To save the file in a different directory, specify the path to that directory.
