The fcstat was introduced in AIX 5.3.
It is included in the devices.common.IBM.fc.rte fileset.

And on this one . . .
Have you tried nmone with ^ ?
And what is the fcstat command in?  AIX?  Not in my man pages and find
doesn't show "fcstat".

Thanks, Rick!  I was still running nmon 11e and didn't have this new
option (and I'm still at 5.3 TL8... at TL9 nmon is bundled in with
topas).
Once I upgraded to 12e, the '^' key does indeed show all the HBAs.

Also thanks to Stef Coene, Alex Paschal and Richard Cowen for pointers
to fcstat, a tool I wasn't aware of that falls in the "dead simple or
obvious"
category. :)  Wonder why the IBMers and business partner tech folks
weren't aware of it either.
