Hardware Information of HP 9000 Superdome

Hi,

I wanted to know if there are any commands which will give me detailed Hardware information on a HP 9000 Superdome. I am interested in information on all the Processor cores and Memory which is present like ClockSpeed, Model, Total Memory etc. of each individual unit.

Will print_manifest provide me with that information?

Can anyone give me a snapshot of the output or point me to a page that has this information?

Thanks,

Vineet

Re: Hardware Information of HP 9000 Superdome

hello


u can also take the help of the cstm command on an NPAR.

log on as root to that NPAR.
give the following coammnads:

#cstm
cstm>sel all
cstm>info;wait
cstm>infolog\


scroll using the spacebar key thru that report.

u can capture the screen O/P or u can also put that into a file.




again if u can access the MP if the SD, then go to the MP Command menu:

Main Menu:>CM

to go to teh coammnd menu

then do the following coammand on MP:CM> Prompt

MP:CM>df -all -nc


This will list u the components

Try "parstatus" to get more information about the complex.

Hope this helps!

Re: Hardware Information of HP 9000 Superdome

Hi,

Thanks for the answers. The problem is that I do not have access to a Superdome so I cannot test the commands.

I wanted to know if using cstm, print_manifest etc. will gave me information on all the partitions on a HP Superdome? For example if there are about 10 CPU boards will I get information on all the CPUs on all the boards?

Thanks,
Vineet

Re: Hardware Information of HP 9000 Superdome

Examples from the parstatus man page:

EXAMPLES
Example 1
Display information for all the I/O chassis in the complex:

parstatus -I

The output format is as shown below.

cab0,bay0,chassis1 Active yes cab0,cell0 0

Example 2
The following example displays information for all major components
that are physically present in the local complex. No action is
specified for the command; the default behaviour is to display all.

Re: Hardware Information of HP 9000 Superdome

Another package you might want to look at that gives quite a large amount of those details formatted and collected into a HTML format is CFG2HTML at http://come.to/cfg2html

They have versions for HP-UX, Linux, MS and other *NIX format and some network gear as well. It automates the collection and info gathering. If you are running some applications you may want to option out some of the collection items or it may expose processes that you may not want collected.

Re: Hardware Information of HP 9000 Superdome

Hi,

Thanks a lot for the information. parstatus seems like the command which I need.

I had one more doubt actually. The examples on the parstatus man page gave very less information for CPUs present on the cells. I think we are getting information on the Processor name i.e. the one which the complex has given it. Will I get this information also:-

1) Processor Model
2) Processor Manufacturer
3) ClockSpeed

Regarding memory I think we are getting the size so that's not a problem. Sorry for so many queries but since I don't have an access to a HP Superdome I have no choice :)

Thanks,
Vineet

Re: Hardware Information of HP 9000 Superdome

hi Vineet,


for these informations u can use the cstm on all the NPARS as i have already stsed in the previous post.


#cstm
this will take u to the cstm command prompt

and then do map

cstm>map

in the map list the left most column gives u the devices by the cstm numbering and then description.

this shall look like
2 memory IPF_MEMORY (1004) Information Successful
31 120 CPU (1004)


u can see that cstm device number in my system for memory is 2 and for cpu is 31.

this might be slightly different on ur system.

for all the paths and devices that count as processor and memory note that device number s


so i do on the cstm prompt as

cstm>sel dev 2 31
cstm>info;wait
cstm>infolog


u will get the information about the COU and memory in details.

just scroll using the spacebar key through that report.


also

if u can access the MP of the NPAR , from the MP> give CM
MP:CM>

there u can give

MP:CM>df -all -nc


that shall list u all the devices and the detailed information in the ystem

Sujit

Re: Hardware Information of HP 9000 Superdome

Hi,

Thanks for the answer Sujit. I also wanted to know the detail level of information that we can get. Basically what I want to ask is whether by connecting to the HP Superdome can we get information via commands of ALL the nPars and vPars which maybe present on it? If suppose I wanted to create a diagramatic representation of the Superdome along with all the nPars and vPars present on it will that be possible? Or is it that the Superdome has no idea about what vPars are created on the underlying nPars?

Thanks,
Vineet
