memory

Is there a way from the system side to find out the current memory config. I would like to avoid having to open the server up if it can be helped. Just looking for the number of slots and chips ect...

go click on the SEARCH button at teh top left side of the ITRC forums page
choose per-to-peer forums
enter the words: memory physical
and then start the search and see how many documents are retrieved.
One of these should help you.

Hi Mark:

You can assess the physical memory chips installed by using the Support Tools Manager (STM):

# echo "selclass qualifier memory;info;wait;infolog"|cstm > /tmp/meminfo

From this output, you will be able to see the chips and the chip sizes installed.

Try any of the following.

1. #dmesg |grep -i phy (may not work if the message buffer is filled up with some other messages)

2. # echo "mem_ptr/D"| adb /stand/vmunix
/dev/mem (gives in number of bytes)
3. SAM --> Performance Monitors --> System Properties ---> Memory

The stm seems to be the thing here, but I am having trouble starting the diagmond

Hi Mark:

Try stopping & restarting 'diagmond' with:

# /sbin/init.d/diagnostic stop
# /sbin/init.d/diagnostic start

That will restart it but first I had to edit
/etc/rc.config.d/diagnostic so that it has a value of 1. Its a 1 line file.

Hi Mark:

Yes, that's true, and a common, standard feature of the /sbin/init.d/ startup paradigm. Sounds like your in business!
