system information

golfnut — Wed, 06 Jul 2005 09:49:38 GMT

What is a good way to collect system iformation on a hp-ux server? I am talking about processor info, software, disk, tape drives, nics, other devices? Is there a script available?

thanks

This sort of question gets asked so often that I finally created a canned answer:

If you have Ignite installed, you can use the print_manifest command.

You can also use SAM to display system properties (Sam -> Performance
Monitors -> System Properties).

There are also utilities like "cfg2html", "nickel" and "sysinfo"
( http://hpux.cs.utah.edu/hppd/hpux/Sysadmin/sysinfo-3.3.1/ )
that can be found by searching the forums.

Finally, you can also obtain this information from the command line with a
series of little scripts like these:

CPU

HPUX=/stand/vmunix

MODEL=$(grep -i $(model | tr "/" " " \
| awk '{print $NF}') \
/usr/sam/lib/mo/sched.models \
| awk '{print $NF}')

MHZ=$(echo itick_per_tick/D \
| adb -k $HPUX /dev/kmem \
| tail -1 \
| awk '{print $2/10000}')
echo `hostname` has `ioscan -k |grep -n processor \
|wc -l` $MODEL $MHZ "Mhz processor(s)"

Number of CPUs

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

RAM

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

/opt/ignite/bin/print_manifest

cfg2html:

Sysinfo (see attached)

I run the last 2 from cron like so:

# Run the sysinfo script
0 6 1 * * /usr/local/sysinfo/sysinfo -a -b -o /usr/tmp/`hostname`.sysinfo >/tmp/sysinfo.cron 2>&1
#Run the cfg2html scripts
35 6 1 * * cd /opt/cfg2html ; /opt/cfg2html/cfg2html_hpux.sh >/dev/null 2>&1
