machinfo for pa-risc

RUET — Fri, 02 Mar 2007 04:02:06 GMT

As asked by many people, here is attached, a PA-RISC version I made of machinfo, which give some of the informations given by the ia64 native machinfo magic command..

I also added list of disks , and graphic card....

Any comments will be appreciated

Looks useful.

You could in many cases get the PDC firmware revision and machine serial number too.

The serial number is available with "getconf MACHINE_SERIAL" if the hardware supports it, so it should be available with "confstr()" system call too.

The PDC version number would be available from a command line using:
echo y | pdcinfo 2>/dev/null | grep "PDC" | grep -v "Relocation"

but the resulting lines have a different structure depending on whether the host is cell-based (nPar-capable) or not.

Example output on a rp5470:

------- Processor 0 HPMC Information - PDC Version: 42.06 ------
------- Processor 2 HPMC Information - PDC Version: 42.06 ------

Example output in a Superdome partition:
13 1/5 PDC 23.1
15 1/7 PDC 23.1

If someone knows a good way to get the PDC version numbers programmatically, I'd like to hear it.

I'm working on this, hope to have a response next week, for the serial and the firmware revision, but not so easy to do ...

Hi Patrick,

You need to do more testing; it gave me some inaccurate info (Number of CPUs = 0, Memory : 0 MB):
hpadl805> /tmp/286387.null
OS info:
sysname = HP-UX
nodename = hpadl805
release = B.11.00
version = U
machine = 9000/800
idnumber = 141941597
model string = 9000/800/L2000-44

CPU info
Number of CPUs = 0
Clock speed = 440 MHz
processor family: 532 pa-2.0
processor model: 17 PA8500

Memory : 0 MB

Around 2 years ago I've found and put together a few lines of C code (see attachment) that gives me a more accurate info (although it may not work properly on others' cases !):
hpadl805> get_sys_info
System = HP-UX
Node = hpadl805
Release = B.11.00
ID = 141941597
Machine = 9000/800
Memory = 3072 MB
Page Size = 4096
Number of CPUs = 4
Clock speed = 440 MHz
Processor model = 9000/800/L2000-44

I've tested only on hpux 11.11 and 11.23
Not on 11.00 .. will try to do a fix ..
I've nearly finished Serial number , now working on firmware revision ..
new version soon

Here is a upgraded version of pa-risc machinfo, providing, serial number of system, when available, and firmware revision of PDC (our HP BIOS).
It was not so easy to implement the firmware revision, it 's only work if contrib pdcinfo tools are present (part of diag I think ?). Let me know about this ..

I will fix the 11.00 issues next week ..
I will also implement a VPAR/NPAR/HPVM informations for servers ..
I will try a more clean algorythm for firmware..

Here are some outputs from a wks and servers:
