howto determine bus type

Andrew Beal — Wed, 06 Aug 2003 05:45:41 GMT

Hi,

Is there any command to tell you what type of bus architecture you have e.g HP/PB, HSC, or PCI??

I have 3 N-Class servers i need to find these details out for, running hp-ux 11.0

Thanks in advance,

Andrew

Hi

# ioscan -fn

Should help and give you what you require.

ioscan should work, but I was thinking of an alternative that quite a lot of times ioscan won't tell you about hardware.

Not sure if this will work, but try:

echo "selclass type adapter qualifier bus;info;wait;infolog" | cstm

There is a list I created a while back but never tested them all. (I'm not near a system either)

Hi,

Use ioscan -fnk. That should return the information you require pretty quickly.

Cheers!

Hi,

ioscan -fnk , gives you the information, but shows you the device path also.

ioscan -fk , excludes the device path.

N Class (rp 74xx) only uses PCI buses....

EISA, HSC, and HPPB was used in older models (K, D, etc...)

With ioscan viewing used, drivers and description you can view this

OH yeah,

that is a nice one too ;) but, this maybe a silly question... how do I get the firmware revision of the bus type??

thanks again,

andrew
