lsvpd

If you're looking for a utility to easily list your device's Vital Product Data (VPD), then look no further than lsvpd. This handy tool can provide you with a wealth of information, including the device's vendor, version, revision level, and serial number, among other details.

One of the best things about lsvpd is that it has been extensively tested on a wide range of platforms, including ppc64, ppc, and i386. So no matter what device you're using, chances are good that lsvpd will work seamlessly for you.

The most recent release of lsvpd is version 1.3.4, and it includes a major change: the libvpd library has been split off into a separate package from lsvpd. If you want to use lsvpd, you will now need to download and install both packages (starting with libvpd first).

Of course, there are a few requirements you'll need to keep in mind when working with lsvpd. These include having the zlib, sg3_utils, sqlite, Linux 2.6, librtas (for ppc machines only), and libstdc++ packages installed.

Overall, lsvpd is a powerful and reliable utility that can be incredibly useful for anyone who wants to quickly and easily access their device's VPD information. If you're looking for a good tool to help you do just that, then lsvpd is definitely worth checking out.
