RAM question

Robie Lutsey — Thu, 21 Mar 2002 15:40:01 GMT

Hey guys! This is a dumb question but how can I find out how much RAM my HP-UX 11.0 J5000 has without opening the case? Thanks in advance!!

Do a dmesg and search for physical.

Go to /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log and search for Physical. It keeps this during boot.

Or you can go through SAM --> System Properties.

If you have diagnostics installed, you can go through cstm or xstm and look at the RAM.

If you have Ignite/UX installed do a /opt/ignite/bin/print_manifest and you will get all kinds of system information, including the amount of RAM.

Hi Clifford,

To check the amout of RAM,

Try,

dmesg |grep Phy

If you have stm installed on your system, you can find out the module sizes too, try,

echo 'selclass qualifier memory;info;wait;infolog' |cstm >/tmp/.meminfo.txt

more /tmp/meminfo.txt

Hope this helps.

You can use STM too ..

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

Hi Clifford

Three of the easier ways :

1. dmesg | grep Phy , divide by 1024 to get answer in MB.

2. SAM --> performance monitor--->system properties . click on memory / CPU etc to know what you are looking for

3.STM

Hi,
Another one!!!
#echo phys_mem_pages/D | adb /stand/vmunix /dev/kmem

Multiply by 4 to get memory in MB
