SYSGEN provides utilities for listing the configured paths
and associated devices of a system. It does not, however, provide
a utility for listing the devices actually attached to the system.
(A valid configured path does not require an associated device.)
The initial system loader (ISL) provides the ODE utility for locating
the devices attached to a system.
A list of attached peripherals aids the system manager in assessing a system's
needs, deciding where (on which I/O paths) to add or remove peripheral devices,
resolving I/O path conflicts (as with SYSGEN and NMMGR), and
restoring or copying a system's configuration.
