HP Machine Specifics

nick_202 — Thu, 17 Feb 2005 11:06:35 GMT

Hi,

I am an AIX admin, and have a few HP machines. I want to get the specifications of these HP machines. Can you tell me what are the commands to use so tha ti can fine out the specifications like:
1) Number of CPU,
2) CPU type
3) CPu speed
4) Paging space (and used %)
5) amt of memory (and used %)
6) Kernel type (32 bit or 64 bit)
7) Firmware version
8) If Raid is being used and if so waht level
etc etc

in AIX i can get most of the info by using commands like lsconf, lsdev, lsattrr, lsps, lscfg, uname, etc.

Are there any simillar commands i can use on HP? I got some info like model using the uname and model commands.

Hi,

1
# ioscan -fnkC processor

2
# model
9000/800/L2000-44
# grep L2000 /usr/sam/lib/mo/sched.models

3
# echo itick_per_usec/D | adb -k /stand/vmunix /dev/mem

6
# file /stand/vmunix

7
# grep -i version /var/tombstones/ts99

Nick,

1) ioscan -k |grep -n processor |wc -l

2) maybe through STM

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

4) swapinfo -tam

5) 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

6) file /stand/vmunix

7) maybe STM

8) depends on the array

1. /usr/sbin/ioscan -fnCprocessor
2. & 3. echo "selclass qualifier cpu;info;wait;infolog"|cstm
4. vmstat, swapinfo
5. glance -m (you need to have glance)
Else vmstat to know free mem. grep -i physical /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log - total ram on machine
6. file /stand/vmunix or getconf KERNEL_BITS
7. same as 2 and 3 (Firmware version of what)
8. SAM - disk management. Or arm commands.

1) "ioscan -fn" gives info on all connected hardware. "top" command has a line near the top for each CPU, "glance" has a CPU report screen
2) See "man stm" it's not very friendly, I'm afraid.
3) stm again, unfortunately
4) swapinfo (glance may also be useful, depending what you want)
5) swapinfo (glance may also be useful, depending what you want)
6)"file /stand/vmunix" The following output shows that it's a 64 bit kernel:
/stand/vmunix: ELF-64 executable object file - PA-RISC 2.0 (LP64)

I'm afraid I'll have to say "pass" on 7 & 8
I look forward to seeing the answers myself!

"/opt/ignite/bin/print_manifest" for a good overview

"getconf HW_CPU_SUPP_BITS" for the running kernel

cpu speed is usually enconded in the output of
"model"

Firmware is only available through the GSP (guardian service processor), I think.

RAID? - software raid?
lvdisplay -v /dev/vg/lvol* | grep -i mirror

also a lot of hardware information is available in the STM, called by 'mstm'
