checking free memory slots left

hi,

I was just wondering is there any way one can check how many memory slots are unused in a HP server running HP UX 11i (rp5xxx,7xxx,8xxx and SD) without going all throught those calculations "I have that much memory, my system can support up to that much memory - it means that I can add that much more memory". In other words is there any way I could scan my memory slots with a system command ?

best regards,

STM. (Support tool manager)

echo "selclass qualifier memory;info;wait;infolog" | cstm > /tmp/mem.log

Check mem.log.

Old STM versions do not report free slots.

run /usr/sbin/cstm (this requires Online Diagnostics to be installed) then do;
selall
il

This will show all the info on all hardware. Scroll down and you will get to your memory board layout, eg;

Memory Board Inventory

Extender
Slot Num Configured and Slot label for each DIMM (MB)
-------- --------------------------------------------
0a 2a 1a 3a 3b 1b 2b 0b
---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ----

EXT 0 256 256 256 256 256 256 256 256
EXT 1 256 256 256 256 256 256 256 256
------------------------------------------------------
System Total (MB): 4096
