Hi Ravi,

These two links may help. In regards to the RAID level you may not be able to find this out, this may depend entirely on the disk hardware your using.

lvdisplay -v /dev/vg##/volname | more

This command will give you the information on the logical volume, how they are laid out and such.

for the replace the ## with the volume group number. This can be obtained from the bdf command.

To look at the contents of individual disks:

pvdisplay /dev/dsk/c#t#d#

Replace the # signs with the disks found in /dev/dsk directory.

The -v option will give you more details

You can also use vgdsiplay to set the layout of volume groups.

This should do it for you.

Hi,
You can use LVM commands like
lvdisplay, pvdisplay and vgdisplay with -v option to see detail characteristic of volumes.
for file system information you can use
fstype command.

Nickel is best script to get full system information in HTML format.

ravi,

I think print_manifest will give you most everything you need but here are a few scripts that may help:

echo `hostname` "is a " `model |sed 's/9000\/800\///' |sed 's/9000\/899\///'` "with" `ioscan -k |grep -n pro
cessor |wc -l` `cpuspeed` "Mhz processors and" `memo
ry` "KB of memory"

Script "cpuspeed":

HPUX=/stand/vmunix

MHZ=$(echo itick_per_tick/D | adb -k $HPUX /dev/kmem | tail -1 | awk '{print $2/10000}')
echo $MHZ

Script "memory":

HPUX=/stand/vmunix
MAJORREV=$(uname -r | cut -f2 -d .)
if [ $MAJORREV -ge "11.0" ]
then
MYSYMBOL="phys_mem_pages"
else
MYSYMBOL="physmem"
fi

MYMEM=$(echo "${MYSYMBOL}/D" | adb $HPUX /dev/kmem | grep "${MYSYMBOL}: *." | awk '{printf "%.0f MB\n",$2/256}')
echo $MYMEM

The output of print_manifest indicates that you have the A5856A RAID4Si product.

You can use irdiag -v to show detailed information about your RAID settings.

The IRM tool (command: irm) is used to change the settings.
