Hi Eric:

Ignite offers the 'print_manifest' which creates a nice basic snapshot.

For Itanium servers, use 'machinfo' for a quick hardware overview.

Regards!

Hello James

It seems too brief.
Have any more detail scripts to show up our box setting ( hosts, network services, dns setup, ...etc ) . Thanks a lot.

Check for "HP-UX additional tools"

These tools are good to get all the H/W and S/W information from the server

I basically use nickel from S/W configuration.

PS: Assign points to the posts.

You need to add -o to adb. Also remove -k.

Edit the nickel script and remove the "-k" from all the "adb" commands. That will cure your warnings.

run sh -x /usr/contrib/nickel and see on which command nickel fails

Also
# ulimit -m unlimited

And check again if the nickel script runs fine.

In addition to what others have suggested

print_manifest being the best

Measureware (Performance Agent) collects system configuration infomration in the TBL and GBL resource classses so you can see the value of some kernel parameters, disks, memory configuration across time if something was changed.

Hi Eric,

There is one other that should be mentioned.

http://www.cfg2html.com/

Cfg2html is a UNIX shell script similar to check_config or get_config, except that it creates a HTML (and plain ASCII) system documentation for HP-UX 10.xx/11.xx, Integrity Virtual Machine, SCO-UNIX, AIX, Sun OS and Linux systems. Plug-ins for SAP, Oracle, Informix, Serviceguard, Fibre Channel/SAN, TIP/ix, Mass Storage like MAS, EVAx000,XP48/128/256/512/1024,1x000/2x000, Network Node Manager and OmniBack/DataProtector etc. are included. The first versions of cfg2html were written for HP-UX. Meanwhile the cfg2html HP-UX stream was ported to major *NIX platforms and small embedded systems.

Regards,
Robert-Jan
