I need to know how to get specific information from HP-UX OS

Samir Bittar — Tue, 03 Jan 2006 06:00:20 GMT

I need to write a script that shows specific information from the server using HP-UX that I'm connected on, but I don't know what commands can show me the info I need.
Can anyone help me out? Here's the information I need:
- The patch level installed on the system
- If the system is running on 32-bit or 64-bit mode
- Host ID Number
- Location of the PageFile
- How much RAM the system has
- The CPU's TYPE, SPEED and how many CPUs are there (COUNT)
- The server's IP Address
- IP Gateway
- IP Subnet Mask
- MAC Address
- Primary / Secondary DNS
- The name of the interface that has that information
Thanks for the help

Hi Samir,

from Ignite-UX utilities you will find /opt/ignite/bin/print_manifest that gains many info on the system (probably all of them you are requesting).

Here you obtain Ignite-UX:

Good luck.

Best regards,

hi,

u may like to download nickel which will have most of the info needed in web pages:

http://h20331.www2.hp.com/hpsub/cache/286022-0-0-225-121.html

also, sysinfo will gather some of the info needed

regards.

Hello Samir,

Q1) - The patch level installed on the system

# /usr/contrib/bin/show_patches

Q2) If the system is running on 32-bit or 64-bit mode

# getconf KERNEL_BITS
# file /stand/vmunix

Q3) Host ID Number
/usr/sbin/lanscan | grep 0x | cut -c12-23

Q4) Location of the PageFile
swapinfo

Q5) How much RAM the system has

# top and then look at memory or SAM

Q6) The CPU's TYPE, SPEED and how many CPUs are there (COUNT)

# getconf CPU_CHIP_TYPE
# getconf HW_CPU_SUPP_BITS
# getconf MACHINE_MODEL
# grep $(printf "0x%x" $(getconf _SC_CPU_VERSION)) /usr/include/sys/unistd.h

Q7) The server's IP Address/Gateway/Subnet mask/MAC

# ifconfig lan0

Q8) Primary/Secondary DNS

# grep -i "nameserver" /etc/resolv.conf

My normal response to this type of question should cover most of your requirements:

If you have Ignite installed, you can use the print_manifest command.

You can also use SAM to display system properties (Sam -> Performance
Monitors -> System Properties).

There are also utilities like "cfg2html" ( http://come.to/cfg2html ),
"nickel" ( ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/catia/Utils/nickel.shar ) and "sysinfo"
( http://hpux.cs.utah.edu/hppd/hpux/Sysadmin/sysinfo-3.3.1/ ).

Finally, you can also obtain this information from the command line with a
series of little scripts like these:

CPU

HPUX=/stand/vmunix

MODEL=$(grep -i $(model | tr "/" " " \
| awk '{print $NF}') \
/usr/sam/lib/mo/sched.models \
| awk '{print $NF}')

MHZ=$(echo itick_per_tick/D \
| adb -k $HPUX /dev/kmem \
| tail -1 \
| awk '{print $2/10000}')
echo `hostname` has `ioscan -k |grep -n processor \
|wc -l` $MODEL $MHZ "Mhz processor(s)"

Number of CPUs

ioscan -k |grep -n processor |wc -l

RAM

HPUX=/stand/vmunix
MAJORREV=$(uname -r | cut -f2 -d .)
if [ $MAJORREV -ge "11.0" ]
then
MYSYMBOL="phys_mem_pages"
else
MYSYMBOL="physmem"
fi

MYMEM=$(echo "${MYSYMBOL}/D" \
| adb $HPUX /dev/kmem \
| grep "${MYSYMBOL}: *." \
| awk '{printf "%.0f MB\n",$2/256}')
echo $MYMEM

And, even more finally, you can obtain CPU speed and RAM without CSTM or root ac
cess as described by Nancy Rippey here:

Thanks, however I don't have permission to install anything on these machines... Are there any other ways?

Hi,

Most of this information requires super user privlages. Many of these information can be get by running a single command from a super user

#/opt/ignite/bin/print_manifest

HTH,

Re: I need to know how to get specific information from HP-UX OS

Samir Bittar — Tue, 03 Jan 2006 06:47:19 GMT

if I go to:
SAM --> Performance Monitors --> System Properties
There is a field that says Machine Identification
That's the number I need for Host Number.. However, is there a way of getting that number with commands so I can put it on a script?
Thanks

Arunvijai_4 — Tue, 03 Jan 2006 06:50:39 GMT

Hi Samir,

# /usr/sbin/lanscan | grep 0x | cut -c12-23

It will display HostID.

You can use sysinfo script for hp-ux platforms.

Q) The patch level installed on the system

swlist -l patch or show_patches

Q) If the system is running on 32-bit or 64-bit mode

getconf KERNEL_BITS

Q) Host ID Number

uname -i

Q) Location of the PageFile
Q) How much RAM the system has
Q) The CPU's TYPE, SPEED and how many CPUs are there (COUNT)

You can get this from sam as,

sam -> performance monitor -> system properties

Q) The server's IP Address

netstat -ivn

Q) IP Gateway
Q) IP Subnet Mask

netstat -rvn

Q) MAC Address (Station Address)

lanscan

Q) Primary / Secondary DNS

cat /etc/resolv.conf

Q) The name of the interface that has that information

netstat -ivn

It will give those informations.

Hi Samir,

My favourites are cfg2html and print_manifest
.As others mentioned these are for to get deeep information about your system.For to get quick information such as model,cpu,ram,serial etc i always use print_manifest but for to get brief report
i run cfg2html monthly and it generates an html file.

Good Luck,

Samir Bittar — Wed, 04 Jan 2006 04:55:48 GMT

Thanks everyone for all the help!
Just one last thing:
When I run the following command:
/opt/ignite/bin/print_manifest \
| grep "Model:" | awk '{print $2}'
it prints out the CPU Model that comes out of print_manifest, for example: 9000/800/L3000-6x
however, print_manifest is something that takes a while to execute...
Does anyone know another command that may return this same information for me? Thanks.
