CSTM Device Types & Qualifier Types

Paul Middleton — Tue, 29 Apr 2003 14:59:19 GMT

Greetings All,
.
I'm not able to find a listing of Device Types & Qualifier Types for CSTM. I've tried every book I can find, gone thru the books at the HP Documents web site, No Joy.
.
What I'm trying to do is seperate internal disks and disk array disks when I run CSTM to an output file.
.
I have found that the Seagate Model numbers, like ST39173WC appear as both an Internal Drive Model A3629A and in a Nike Mod 20 Array as Model A3703A.
.
After trying selclass type disk;info;wait;infolog | cstm > disk.txt ,
I searched the forums for information regarding CSTM and found references to -
selclass type qualifier ;info;wait;infolog.
.
Where can I find a complete (or nearly complete) set of Device Types and Qualifier Types?
.
What I want to do is something like -
selclass type disk qualifier array;info;wait;infolog | cstm > disk.txt
.
Any and all help will be appreciated.
Don't let Eugeny take all the points. (just kidding Eugeny)

Well, I'll be damned. (just ask my wife),
that last command worked.
echo "selclass type disk qualifier array;info;wait;infolog" | cstm > disk.txt
.
Worked like a charm.
.
I would still like to know if there is a list of possible or correct Device Types and Qualifier Types. I can't depend on luck.

It depends on what STM sees on your system and also I think the version os STM installed. One way to find out what are the available class type and qualifiers is to run it interactive .. for example on my 11.0
# cstm
cstm>selclass
-- Select Class of Devices --
Select only Device Type:
* 1 All
2 Adapter
3 Disk
4 Interface
5 Memory
6 Processor
7 system
Enter selection [1]:

Select only Qualifier Type:
* 1 All
2 Array
3 Bus
4 CPU
5 DVDROM
6 Hard
7 LAN
8 Memory
9 RS-232
10 SCSI
11 system
Enter selection [1]:

So if you wanted to say select all the hard disks you would go ..
cstm> selclass type disk qualifier hard

On my 10.20 this shows up ..
cstm>selclass
-- Select Class of Devices --
Select only Device Type:
* 1 All
2 Adapter
3 Disk
4 Interface
5 MUX
6 Memory
7 Processor
Enter selection [1]:

Select only Qualifier Type:
* 1 All
2 Array
3 Bus
4 CPU
5 Centronics
6 Hard
7 Keyboard
8 LAN
9 Memory
10 NIO
11 SCSI
Enter selection [1]:

Hope that answers your question.

Top Points, S.K.
That was just what I was looking for.
.
Now another question.
.
On the Current Device Status Screen, it starts with Product Id :, just underneath that is,
Qualifier : .
.
The information in Qualifier ranges from, HPC5447A for an Mod 20 Array, to numbers like 14, 15, 580, 500, 2f, 5a9, 7b.
.
Do you know if there is a relationship between the Qualifier and the Card or Interface it's refering to?
.
For instance, could I tell the Model of a card by referencing
Product Id: SCSI Interface
Qualifier : 15
and know if it's A2969A or something?
.
I know it's a weird question, and if you think I'd wandering off in a wrong direction, please say so. I don't want to waste your time on ideas that don't go anyplace.
.
If you do think it's worth looking into, any hints, tips would be appreciated.

Thanks Paul ..
mmm .. I don't see any Qualifier field in my cstm screen after I've selected a particular scsi interface and did an "infolog" on it. How are you running it ?
Back to your question .. if you want to examine say all PCI SCSI interface you can run ..
cstm> selclass type interface qualifier scsi
cstm> map
And you would see all the "PCI SCSI Interface" are selected (marked by asterisks).

For the Nike model 20, this is what I got from infolog ..
cstm>infolog
Hardware path: 8/4.2
..
it gives me 3 sections ..
1- MAPS
2- CONFIGURATION
3- DISKS
and if I select the scsi interface it's on it gives me ..
Hardware path: 8/4

Product ID: SCSI Interface
Hardware Path: 8/4
Module Type: Type-A DMA I/O
Hardware Model: 0x13
Hardware Revision Number: 0x1
Software Revision Number: 0
Software Model Number: 0x89
Software Option: 0x80
Hard Physical Address: 0xfbf44000
Slot Number: 1
IODC Revision: 0xffffff98
If all you wanted is the model or description of the card ioscan would suffice, wouldn't it ?

Ah, there's the rub. (sorry, Shakespeare fan)
.
I forgot to mention how I found this other "Qualifier". Instead of typing cstm, I just typed stm. Then highlighted a line, went to "Device" and the first item under "Device" is "Current Device Status". It shows another "Qualifier" which, along with the "Product Id:" I was hoping to find more about the cards model.
.
Yes, ioscan does show "some"information, but, as and example, in ioscan you might see a interface board with "GSC Add-On Fast Wide Interface" or something like that. What I want to do is, with the Qualifier, determine if that "GSC Add-on Fast Wide Interface" is a A2969A interface card.
.
Quite ambitious isn't it.
.
Well, you can't be a nerd if you don't try to find a way to do something no ones thought of before.
.
Regardless, thanks for your help and thanks for all the time you devoted to this.
