Looking for a script

Paul Middleton — Thu, 24 Oct 2002 02:13:39 GMT

Hopefully someone out there knows if there is a script of some kind to document the cards, drives, lvm config, etc. I need to find some way to document several dozen K, L & N servers. I vaguely remember a script named wellcheck, or hpinfo, or something like that. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Sounds like you want a "wider scope" tool to collect information on your server. There are quite a number of tools out there. They may not be a single tool that will cover everything for you. Some of the tools that you may want to download and try out are ..

http://www.grc.hp.com/docs/nickel/
http://hpux.cs.utah.edu/hppd/hpux/Sysadmin/sysinfo-3.3.1/
The command /opt/ignite/bin/print_manifest

I personally use "nickel" and it puts information in user-friendly html format which I find very useful.

There is a tool called 'cfg2html' that will do this.

Have a look at this posting, where suggests a number of different scripts/programs. Have you also looked into using the 'print_manifest command?

Do a search on "cfg2html" and "sysinfo". Both do what you are looking for.

The HP supplied script is sysinfo and has been available in the past from your HP software support engineer. Don't know if that is still the case.

However, Ignite/UX has a similar feature called print_manifest. Just run that to a file or printer. If you don't have the latest version of Ignite/UX installed on every HP-UX system, drop everything you are doing and go to software.hp.com to download the latest version and see that it gets installed, then use make_tape_recovery (or make_net_recovery if you need a network-based root disk recovery method).

SAM also can provide a config listing. Look in Performance Monitors for System Properties.

I have a script here called gather which will report probably more than you need. Take a look at it and modify as needed by commenting out the functions in the backend of the script.

The output will be 2 files , one is a .txt based file and the other is a .html file.

Good luck.
