How to find the detailed info on every piece of hardware of your system

[Carol Yu]

HI,

We are looking to put a quote on a system that has exactly the same hardware as the one we already bought. How can I find the detailed info on every piece of hardware of your system from OS. Apparently, nobody has the invoice or PO anymore. BTW, I am using HP-UX 11.

Thanks a lot,
Carol

Do you have a maintenance contract or warranty? That should list almot everything on the system as well.

[Carol Yu]

We have gone through so many changes that we don't have any docs any more. I am sure that we are on maintenance support. But I don't even know my system handler. I was put on this with no one can tell me any history. :(

Thanks a lot Procura.

COuld you tell me a bit more details on how to check using cstm. Haven't used it before.

Try calling HP with the serial number of your system which you can get from a sticker somewhere on your hardware. They can work magic out of that short string of characters :)

Carol,

You might want to use the manifest function of Ignite-UX. Have a look at the Ignite-UX Admin Guide http://docs.hp.com/hpux/onlinedocs/B2355-90834/B2355-90834.html
and check out "Viewing and Printing a Manifest" in the chapter on "Installing HP-UX on Clients from the Server "

Hope it helps!

Best Regards,

Dave

cstm is the ascii interface, for which also a X11 interface is available

type from a root X11 window (xterm, hpterm, dtterm)

# xstm

And from there on it's just click and play

I've attached a perl script that makes a printable graph of how your system hardware looks like, but you will need a perl with Tk and some other modules, that are not included in the default perl distribution on HP-UX.
The perl script yields an image similar to xstm, and is based on cstm interface

If you install my own perl distribution, available on my site, it includes all the neccacary modules

My HP ITRC site pages can be found at (please use LA as primary choice):

Hello,

you can use "cstm" with the follow syntax,

echo "selall \n info \n wait \n il" | cstm | tee system_info.txt

to create a File with detailed informations about your hardware.

Best Regards
