basic HP Box info

[Ali Sunderji]

Hi all,

Is there a quick and dirty way of getting SPEED, MEMORY and HD on different kinds of HP Hardware ( 715, B Class, A Class J Class etc...) running 10.20 11.0 OS without writing a fancy script.

I have tried dmesg, glance etc but dont know of one all encompassing powerfull command that will give me this info..

Any suggestions

Hi Ali

Try using SAm

ie SAM---->Performance Monitors---->System Prpoerties. This will answer the first two questions , the third can be answered by SAM again ,check for the Disks and Filesystems .

You can also uset STM to know the status of the hardware , or xstm if you can see graphic on the screeen.

If you have ignite installed the print_manifest will also give you the information.

Hi:

Try these commands:

1) top - will tell you number of CPUs
2) ioscan -fn - all device information
3) diskinfo - disk information
4) dmesg - memory information
5) stm - information of CPU, memory, disk ..etc
6) print_manifest - information if ignite installed
7) SAM -> performance monitors -> System Properties
8) uname -a
9) model

Speed (10.x and 11.x)
=======================
# echo itick_per_usec/D | adb -k /stand/vmunix /dev/kmem

Memory (10.x)
=============
# echo "physmem/D" | adb -k /stand/vmunix /dev/kmem
===> multiply result by 4 and divide by 1024 (in KB)

Memory (11.x)
=============
# echo "memory_installed_in_machine/D" | adb /stand/vmunix /dev/kmem
===> multiply result by 4 and divide by 1024 (in KB)

Harddisk (10.x and 11.x)
========================
# ioscan -fnC disk
# /etc/diskinfo /dev/rdsk/

If you don't want to mess around with command line stuff then run sam and go through the menus.

I like to use ignite for that

Try,

/opt/ignite/bin/print_manifest

See if you like that output.

print_manifest is what you are looking for.
It is a part of Ignite software (freely downloadable from the HP site).

Thank you all for fast response..print_manifest is great.

Hi Ali

You didnt read my third option while giving points .

No problem with points but print_manifest does not tell you the speed of the processor or does it ?? :)

[Ali Sunderji]

Yes you are correct, It does not provide the speed..but I was very impressed with this command ..the way it breaks down everything..its great.

Again thank you all for you responses..

Hi,

I'd also recommend you take a look at 2 other system info utilities

1) The sysinfo util - gives all you request & MUCH more incl PDC, LVM, etc.

http://hpux.cs.utah.edu/hppd/hpux/Sysadmin/sysinfo-3.3.1/

2) The nickel util
