server info

khilari — Tue, 11 Jul 2006 13:31:05 GMT

Hi people, well i wanted to know as to how do u get to know what is the processor power of a server. I mean how many giga hertz for the processor?
Secondly, how would u know what raid level is configured on the disks, if they are in a store e disk array.

Thanks.

Shalom,

Raid level can be termined by a careful use of LVM reports.

lvdisplay -v will show mirror copies and such.

You may need to start with vgdisplay to get a handle on what logical volumes are out there.

cstm

That is used via the menus to determine the speed of the CPU. RISC chips require much lower CPU speeds to acheive good performance than say your PC which uses CISC.

There are a lot of system reporting scripts posted to ITRC.

Except in special cases there is no way to determine the RAID level of a disk array from the OS; Typically, a utility is supplied with array itself but how the data are actually stored is (and should be) completely hidden from the host. In some cases, your question has no meaning because the RAID level dynamically adjusts itself "on the fly".

Also, your use of processor speed to measure the "power" of a server is rather nebulous as well.

I agree with Clay in regards to the disk array question. If you want to know the speed at which your processors are running look at this link.

Khilari ,

Here it is :

# echo "selclass qualifier cpu;info;wait;infolog" | /usr/sbin/cstm

[ For CPU information ]

# echo "selclass qualifier memory;info;wait;infolog" | /usr/sbin/cstm

[For Memory Information.]

Cheers,
Raj.

Khilari ,

Also a very useful tool is available from HP , is nickel script that will collect all your system informations, just to run it and the HTML report will be ready:

Hi,

You can use the below command aswell to check the cpu speed from cstm...

#echo "map selall info;wait infolog" | cstm > /tmp/cstm.txt.

If the disks are in a stroage then u need to log into the storage through the serial port or from web management console from there i guess you will be able to check the raid levels..
