System Info from HP-UX server

Robert Dukes — Tue, 04 Jan 2005 09:05:03 GMT

Hi,

Is there a command that will produce a configuration document which provides indepth information on hardware/software on a HP-UX system. I need information relating to all configurable kernel parameters, LVM disk layouts, FS information, networking information including all network card info and static routes. Ive tried using the print_manifest command, and It gives me most of what im after, but only gives a subset of kernel parameters, and doesnt give enough info on network configuration.

Cheers, Rob.

Its called a script.

You have to write it.

I'm attaching a script that produces most of the information. Add a kmtune line to it and you will be close to done.

HI Rob,

I believe print_manifest (cf. ignite) might give you what you're looking for.

man print_manifest for more info

Thanks Steve.

Yes I know writing a script is an option, but I just wondered whether there were any other commands to provide the info I am after, similar to print_manifest - I guess there is not!

Rob

Have you checked the favorite sysadmin scripts ?

Have a look at CFG2HTML. I believe it should give you all you require.

If you are looking to document your system, try the nickle product in this link.

You'll have to make a checklist of what you need. There are several scripts, sysinfo, cfg2html, nickel, gatherer.sh, and so on. Each has a collection of details, but there is no "complete" program or script since you have to define complete.

If you are documenting several servers and need the docs to be available online, take a look at the inventory scripts at: ftp://contrib:9unsupp8@hprc.external.hp.com/sysadmin/inventory/ where you'll find gatherer.sh and nickel. Nickel (like cfg2html) gathers a lot of data but turns all of it into dozens of web pages with a central index. It's all scripted so you can add items if you want.
