Need to create hardware schema.

Kristopher March — Wed, 22 May 2002 13:20:17 GMT

I am in the process of creating a hardware schema for the V-class box I am responsible for. (First time doing this sort of thing)

So far, I have the following:
Sys Info from SAM. I copied it into Excel
and I did ioscans on tape, disk, and lan devices. The listings for Disk are very long so I just totaled them up and placed onto a separate page.
I don't have Vendor information on the hardware. Nor do I know how to get it without calling HP.

Is there anything I am missing before I present this to anyone?

You may also want the output from uname -a, swlist, and /opt/ignite/bin/print_manifest.

Also try..
# /opt/ignite/bin/print_manifest

and .. cstm
# echo "selall;info;wait;infolog
> view
> done
> "|cstm > systeminfo.txt
# more systeminfo.txt

Hi Kristopher

Do you have ignite . You can just do a print manifest and direct the o/p to a file , the information there is well laid in terms of the controller ,cpu , disk , memory etc.

Also HP H/W engineers ahve a good script which is sysinfo and can be run with -h option to give you a html document.

I am attaching a print mainfest of one of our V class servers for your reference.

Hi:

As suggested, the Ignite "manifest" is a great source of documentation. Since you no doubt already create routine 'make_tape_recovery' tapes for disaster recovery [ :-)) ], here's a *free* benefit. Every time you run 'make_tape_recovery' you automatically get a new "manifest" file created summarizing your system configuration. You can find it here:

/var/opt/ignite/recovery/latest/manifest

Regards!

Apart from xstm/mstm/cstm,
you should consider collecting via nickel

You can find visio templates and stensils at:

This is a perl script (requires some modules) that visualizes the system's structure using cstm (somewhat like xstm), with all the hardware info you need. The structure is displayed in perl/Tk and can be printed on any PostScript printer.
