Go find: System Planning Tool on the web.

Install that.

Now you can look at the system plan.

Subject: Reading an exported system plan

So I got access to the HMC and figuring out the web interface and figured out how to export a system plan. So export I did. Only to get a file of type .plan. Well that didn't do much good. But I opened it in a hex editor and saw that it started with PK, so I broke out trusty 7-zip, and it told me the .plan file was indeed a ZIP archive, and inside was a file of type CDSML. Gotta be honest, never saw one of those in my life either, but my initial guess said "ML"? Must be XML.

And on opening the file, that's what I saw. So now that I have the XML, I can see that it's a very generic XML file, which means that it's nearly incomprehensible to human eyes. How do other folks work with this?
