[Ryan Bernard]

Hi All

Do you know what are the commands to obtain the below information from a HP-UX server (PA & IA)? Thanks alot~!

1) BIOS Version
2) BIOS Date
3) Processor Type
4) Processor Model
5) Processor Series
6) Processor Cache Size
7) Processor Hyper Thread enabled

Hi,

pdcinfo will provide the details about BIOS.

CSTM will more helpful to find out the processor details.

HI Ryan,

In PA-RISC machine.You can use the below command

/opt/ignite/bin/print_manifest

And For IA machines , you can use "machinfo" comamnd.

Shalom,

PA-RISC, model, gives you the model number.

cstm mstm or xstm can give you some of the information you seek.

4-7 is probably only available on a running machine if you have installed PSP for HP-UX. That ships with additional utilities that let you query the machine.

You can take the model information to http:/docs.hp.com and get more specific information on your system, but that route may not meet the exact criteria of your question.

hi,


print_manifest / model / cstm ....

machinfo - Itanium only

bios version ( firmware ) MP console ==> cm ==>

for example :

SYSREV

Current firmware revisions

MP FW : E.03.15
BMC FW : 03.52
EFI FW : 03.14
System FW : 03.17

hi,

for newer servers you should be able to get it from the diagnostics if installed

#echo "selclass qualifier cpu;info;wait;il" | cstm

for older PA servers you needed to reboot the box to PDC level and check in the informtion menu there

Thanks alot for the prompt reply. Can somebody help provide the cstm command required?

Hi Ryan,

hp-ux servers does not have BIOS, but firmware.

For Integrity servers or even for PA servers if running 11.31 you can use

# machinfo

to get all the details.

for (7) use "setboot"


For PA servers you can use

# echo "selclass qualifier cpu;info;wait;il"|/usr/sbin/cstm

[Suraj K Sankari]

Hi,

PA-RISC machine
use print_manifest
For
Itanium machines
machinfo

or third party software like nickel or cfg2html

>>Can somebody help provide the cstm command required?
for memory we can use cstm like this
# echo "selclass qualifier memory;info;wait;infolog" | /usr/sbin/cstm
or type cstm at command prompt you will get cstm> prompt then type help

for more info check man cstm

Hi Ryan,

You can fetch the data from MP.
---------------------------------------------
MP>CM
MP>CM>DF
form the above select Processor Module.
---------------------------------------------
On PA systems you run cstm/mstm and get the information specific to CPU by running info tool or expert tool.
---------------------------------------------
On IA Systems you can run machinfo or cstm/mstm and get the information specific to CPU by running expert tool.
---------------------------------------------
if you are running HPUX 11iv2 Sep 2006 or above
you can get the information from HP System Management Home Page.
