CPU detection

Denis Sirois_3 — Wed, 15 Mar 2000 05:06:04 GMT

Hi All,

I'm trying to find out what kind of CPU I'm using. I do a IOSCAN -f and don't
find what I went. Could you tell me the command to find the amount of memory
in that box and the number of cpu and the speed of that cpu. Also is there a
command that will tell me wich K-class I'm using.

Thanks

- To determine the number of processors:
top
To determine processor speed:

- For HP-UX 9.x:

echo itick_per_usec/D | adb -k /hp-ux /dev/mem,

- For HP-UX 10.0 and 10.01:

echo itick_per_usec/D | adb -k /stand/vmunix/dev/mem

- For HP-UX 10.10 and greater, you have to modify the above command, or it will
get data address not found or no such address errors.

echo itick_per_usec/D | adb -k /stand/vmunix dev/mem

- To find the model number of the processor, execute this line:

/usr/bin/model

see DOC KBRC00000327 (How to find the number of processors, speed, and model
number )

To find the CPU type and PA-RISC version use the
/usr/bin/model command that Alex talked about.
Then look in /usr/lib/sched.models (for hpux 10.xx)
or /usr/sam/lib/mo/sched.models (for hpux 11.xx).
Note all PA8000 and above CPUs are 64 bit.

An easy way to find the amount of physcial memory
in a system is:

grep Physical /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log

easiest way to find out how much memory is installed
is to run

/usr/sam/lbin/getmem

As a caveat:
The getmem command does not report accurate values for systems with more than
512 Meg of memory. Grepping the value out of syslog is the best way to go, or
else logging dmesg into a file and pulling it from there.

Alan is right. If you have OnlineDiag install on your server, go to
/var/tombstones, vi or print any of the ts** files, and also run dmesg.

Cheers!

Physical mem check.

Would you know why Im getting nothing when I run the echo iticks_per_usec/D
|adb -k /stand/vmunix /dev/mem?

thanks
