Speed in MHz of S16K-A machine?

Mott Given — Fri, 16 Jan 2004 08:56:53 GMT

What command can I run to find the speed in MHz of an HP-UX v11.11 S16K-A machine? I can sign onto the machine but I do not have root access to it.

Hi Mott,

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

Run this script - called hpmem - uses adb to get speed:

outpu look like:

Mott,

Take a look at this thread for some tips.

I haven't heard of that model of HP9000 before. What does the 'model' command return ?

Mott,

As far as I know, it's virtually impossible to do without root access.

And what in heaven's name is a "S16K-A machine"?

I would imagine that the S16K is a Superdome 16000. Basically the 16-way Superdome.

S16K-A is the model string on a RP8400 "Keystone" server.

Sorry Mott - just realized you don't have root access - you can not determine the cpu speed without root....not that I know of anyways....

Hi,

without root access you cannot get speed, can just obtain only cpu version.
An example:

$ model
9000/811/D210
$ more /usr/lib/sched.models | grep -i D210
D210 1.1d PA7200

Best regards,
Ettore

Mott,

I do not have a Keystone to play with ;-(

and you will not get what you want on older machines doing it via cstm, but it's worth a try:

echo "selclass qualifier cpu ;info;wait;infolog"|/usr/sbin/cstm > /tmp/cpuinfo ; grep 'Speed' /tmp/cpuinfo

(the above is one single line)

Regards,
Bernhard

Hi Mott,

The speed is either 750MHz or 875MHz, it's very hard to find out which without root access.

Mott,

Just so you know - I tried making a suid script that would run as root and even that wouldn't work so I guess the answer has to be that you can't do it without root privileges.

Thank you all for your help. Bernhard's answer worked and I was able to run his suggestion without having root access.
Below is the command used and the response:
$ echo "selclass qualifier cpu ;info;wait;infolog"|/usr/sbin/cstm > /tmp/cpuinfo ; grep 'Speed' /tmp/cpuinfo

That's interesting - the cstm approach doesn't work for me:

$ grep -i speed /tmp/cpuinfo
Instruction Cache [Kbyte]: 512 Processor Speed: N/A
Instruction Cache [Kbyte]: 512 Processor Speed: N/A
Instruction Cache [Kbyte]: 512 Processor Speed: N/A
Instruction Cache [Kbyte]: 512 Processor Speed: N/A

I tried it on both an 11.0 and an 11i system. The 11i system came back with
"cstm>selclass qualifier cpu ;info;wait;infolog
^-- (SelClass) is currently disabled. --"

The 11.0 system gave the N/A response.

I don't want to hijack Mott's thread with my own personal questions so if there's any point in pursuing this, email me (my address is in my profile) and I'll open up a new thread.
