"tpconfig -l" looks a lot like "tpconfig -data", too.

This is as in interesting tidbit which I had not known before. Just
browsing
the list as a matter of course has it's value! I checked the command on our
3.4
Solaris system, and found the following:
tpconfig -data is undocumented, but works and returns a list like the GUI
"Device Monitor" including the robot numbers a line at a time.
tpconfig -d is documented, and includes devices and robotic path and volume
hosts separately. Relatively compact with two lines per device. Documented
in
MM SysAdm P319
tpconfig -dl Same information as -d except each drive/attribute combination
has
a line, so each drive has 7 lines of display. (flag came from a tpconfig
-help)
There are probably other undocumented flags. Oh, and tpconfig -dl only
works on
the current control host.
Thanks for the pointer, and I hope the additional detail helps
someone....Gerrit
