System configuration

Khashru — Tue, 25 Jul 2006 23:56:35 GMT

Is there any unix command that will give me the hardware configuration of a hp9000 server. Information like number of CPU, Model speed. RAM, Number of internal disk. lan, Fc card information.

There are many different commands and tools.

You can run the online diagnostics for example, or

/opt/ignite/bin/print_manifest

you can run nickel script and you can found about your hardware configuration

Steps:
1. Unzip nickel.zip in PC
2. If /opt/contrib/bin does not exist,
# mkdir -p /opt/contrib/bin
3. FTP in "BINARY" mode, 'nickel' to /opt/contrib/bin
4. # cd /opt/contrib/bin
5. # chmod 555 nickel
6. # ./nickel
7. A file: nickel.yourhostname.tar.gz will be created.
8. FTP in "BINARY" mode, nickel.yourhostname.tar.gz to PC
("ASCII" mode will corrupt the .tar.gz file)

thanks

Hi Torsten,

It is giving almost all the required information. But i am confused in one place. i have a 7420 and i am using 2 npar and one npar has 2 vpar. But the output shows it has three processor. Also i need to find out the speed and model of the processor.

System Hardware

Regarding the CPU speed:

a possibility is to run SAM -> performance monitors -> system properties

The diags output is limited to the nPar level. You will see the number of CPUs in a npar, regardsless if there are vPars running or not.

There are also some nice scripts to get the CPU speed, like this

HI khashru,
number of CPU's can be found from "top" command.

lan informations for 9000systems:
"lanscan" will give information
http://docs.hp.com/en/A5201-10028/ix01.html

lanscan man page:

Hi

For CPU Speed Just type this command.

echo "itick_per_usec/D" | adb -k /stand/vmunix /dev/kmem

hi,

you can also get more information on your LAN interfaces using the following script:

#!/usr/bin/sh
PATH=/usr/sbin:/usr/bin
ppas=`lanscan | awk '$3~/^[0-9]$/{print $3}' | xargs`
for i in $ppas
do
printf "Card at PPA %s - " $i
ipa=`ifconfig lan${i} 2>/dev/null | awk '{ip=$2}END{if(ip==""){printf("Not assig
ned ")}else{printf("%s ",ip)}}'`
printf "IP Address: %15s- " "$ipa"
lanadmin -x $i 2>/dev/null | awk '{$1="";printf("%s",$0)}'
echo ""
done

hope this helps too!

kind regards
yogeeraj

hi Khashru,

please run nickel script to get information for each server. i think about number of cpu, cpu speed and size for memory already capture by nickel. the output is HTML file. so put at your pc, and open that file. you can get all information.

thanks
