how to check if any mksysb resources are allocated for use in IBM AIX

To see if any mksysb resources are allocated for use, the following command can be run:

# lsnim -a mksysb

With a remote hostname of "darkstar" and a mksysb resource with the name "darkstar_mksysb", the output will be similar to this:
# lsnim -a mksysb
darkstar:
mksysb = darkstart_mksysb 

Example:


lsnim -a mksysb
