how to identify kingston memory on a system

[linuxfan]

Hi,

If a system has both HP and kingston memory DIMMS, is there any way to determine which vendor DIMM is in what slot.

I know how to use stm(cstm/mstm/xstm) to determine the capacity of the memory dimm in the slots, but what i am looking for is to identify the vendor(HP/kingston) as well.

I am trying to find this information without shutting the machine down (but ofcourse ;)

I think this project is doomed. The whole point is to make the memory functionally identical. There is no serial number or ID associated with some reserved address on each module. This is a case of getting under the hood the old fashioned way.

We bought a 2GB kit Kingston memory for our L2000 and from STM's memory infolog it just tells you what's the size of DIMM in what slot, that's it. There is no way to find this out without the hard way. The best I can find out is (from the serial number of each DIMMs) how many Kingston piece I have by running "selall" in cstm then "info" and "infolog" (provided you record down the serial number of the memory before you plug them in).

You need to specify what
model of HP 9000 you have.

Some newer models *do*
have the ability to
determine the manufacturer
of the memory DIMMs (despite
what an earlier poster said :)

In fact, the A-Class
can generate a message noting
that some of your memory
isn't from HP :)

As can the L's N's and SuperDome Series.

Unfortunately, I haven't been able to figure out how to use that to my advantage. Someone out there knows a command to grab that information. If you are he/she and read this, please respond to this persons post.
