I have tried this method yet, but it is compatible with few servers model, and in these files there isn't any partitionable server (like superdome), for example I looking for SD64000.
Once someone has written a machinfo for pa-risc in C and posted the code in this forum but i can't find the thread anymore. maybe someone has add it to his favourite...
If you are writing an application which depends on the instruction set architecture being PA1.1 vs. PA2.0 vs. IA64, then use getconf CPU_VERSION. The return value can be decoded using (see sysconf(2)).
getconf CPU_CHIP_TYPE seems to be for IA64 only. You could probably decode the value if you had access to the IPF docs (see sysconf(2)).javascript:postAnswerSubmit('submit'); Submit
I need of this information for inventory reason. I must to collect the cpu detailed info,(speed,model etc etc), I have all information and I must to have the specific cpu model for pa-risc servers.
Evidently HP believes that user programs have no business querying the CPU model, because AFAICT they have provided no documented way to get it. You would be better off getting the info using SAM or by looking at the original purchase invoices.
However, if you simply MUST get the CPU model programmatically, here are some options you can try:
1) Open a support call with HP. Perhaps a sympathetic engineer from the SAM team will tell you how SAM gets the information. My guess is that SAM is either using the sched.models file (which can be in both /usr/lib and in /opt/langtools/lib) or is calling an API which is not normally available to the user.
2) Use "expect" to start SAM in text (ASCII) mode and retrieve the model number from there. I believe you can configure SAM so that regular users can only use certain areas of SAM.
'machinfo' applies only to Itanium processors. If you have Ignite loaded, try the /opt/ignite/bin/print_manifest #cstm #selall #map #infolog --- will show you detailed information of all your components installed on system.
