RISC Levels

KeithDaley — Wed, 22 Nov 2000 07:26:14 GMT

I normally check either the /opt/langtools/lib/sched.models or /usr/lib/sched.models files to check for the MODEL string so as to get the relevent RISC Level of the processors, but some of my servers do not have the model string within these files.

Is there another way of determining the RISC Level of a processor ??

Hi Keith,

The command 'model' should report the right model. Is this not the case ? I've checked on all our systems, running 10.20 or 11.0 and it seems ok.

Hi Keith,

Sorry, but I misunderstood your question and replied too fast.

You're right, the string returned by model cannot be found in the sched.models file on the L2000.

I've checked with stm but didn't find any info about the risc level.

Get sysinfo from:
http://gatekeep.cs.utah.edu/hppd/hpux/Sysadmin/sysinfo-3.3.1/

It will show you the CPU type eg. PA-RISC_2.0

i checked sysinfo and contructed this

grep $(getconf _SC_CPU_VERSION |awk '{printf("0x%X\n",$0)}') /usr/include/sys/unistd.h

Here's another script for this too I found somewhere:

#!/usr/local/bin/tclsh

set cpu [format 0x%x [exec getconf CPU_VERSION]]
set fd [open /usr/include/sys/unistd.h r]
while { [gets $fd line] >= 0 } {
if { [regexp 0x2 $line] && [regexp RISC $line] } {
if { [lindex $line 3] == $cpu } {
puts [lindex $line 6]
}
}
}

regards,

If you have Online diagnostics installed on your system, check the file /var/tombstones/ts99, search for PA.

Thanks to all of you that have responded.

I found RAINER's suggestion the best.

Thanks, Keith.
