cfgmgr

Configures devices by running the programs in /etc/methods directory. Redirects the system console to device or file, effective next startup -l <device> -a<params> Changes a device's characteristics. Changes the display used by the low-function terminal (LFT subsystem. Changes the default font selected at boot time. -a size=+<blocks> /<FS> Changes attributes of a file system. This one will increase the Filesystem . Changes attributes for groups. Rename logical volume from olvname to nlvname Changes attributes of a paging space. Changes the characteristics of a physical volume in a volume group. -q<q name> -ahost = x Changes the queue name. Changes a subsystem definition in the subsystem object class. Changes or queries the trusted computing base attribute of a file. Changes the system time zone information rlogin=true <username> Changes attributes for the specified user.

Lists entries in the /etc/vfs file. List configured Volume groups List configuration details of a given Volume group List Logical Volumes/Filesystems on a given Volume Group Preprocesses a message source file. Adds a device to the system. Adds the font code associated with a display to the system. Creates a fonts.dir file from a directory of font files. Creates a new group. Makes records in the /etc/inittab file. Create a Logical Volume

Creates a logical volume. Adds copies to a logical volume. Configures TCP/IP-based name service on a host for a client. Adds a notify method definition to the notify object class. Configures TCP/IP-based print service on a host. Add an additional paging space to the system. Adds a printer queue to the system. Adds a printer queue device to the system. Adds a subserver definition to the subserver object class. Adds a subsystem definition to the subsystem object class.

mksysb.

Backs up mounted file systems in the rootvg volume group for subsequent reinstallation Records size of mounted file systems in the rootvg volume group for reinstallation Sets the required values for starting TCP/IP on a host. Creates a new user account. Customizes a new user account. -y <vgname> -s <ppsize> <hdisk x> Create a Volume Group on hdisk x

mktcpip mkuser mkuser.sys Mkvg

mkvg mkvirprt odmadd odmchange

Creates a volume group. Makes a virtual printer. Adds objects to created object classes. Changes the contents of a selected object in the specified object class. Produces the .c (source and .h (include files necessary for ODM application development and creates empty objectclasses. Deletes selected objects from a specified object class. Removes an object class. Retrieves objects from the specified object classes and places them into an odmadd input file. Displays an object class definition on the screen. Verifies the correctness of local authentication information. Redefines the set of physical volumes of the given volume group in the device configuration database. Removes physical volumes from a volume group. When all physical volumes are removed from the volume group, the volume group is deleted. Reorganizes the physical partition allocation for a volume group.
