/opt/ignite/bin/print_manifest is easy way to get all the info you needed.

I usually do a print_manifest, as Ettore has shown, plus I include an "ioscan -fn" and "vgdisplay -v":

print_manifest >/tmp/`hostname`_pm.txt;ioscan -fn > /tmp/`hostname`_io.txt; vgdisplay -v>/tmp/`hostname`_vg.txt

additionally you might want to do more network documentation:

netstat -rn
lanscan
lanadmin
cat /etc/services
cat /etc/resolv.conf
cat /etc/nsswitch.conf
...

live free or die
