B<rscan> - Collects node information from one or more hardware control points.
 
=head1 SYNOPSIS
 
I<rscan [-h|--help]>

I<rscan [-v|--version]>

I<rscan [-V|--verbose] noderange [-w][-x|-z]>


=head1 DESCRIPTION

The rscan command lists hardware information for each node managed by the hardware control points specified in noderange.

Note that the first line of the output always contains information about the hardware control point itself. When using the rscan command to generate output for HMC or IVM hardware control points, note that FSPs and BPAs are included in the output.
