Collecting System information

[KRS_1]

Hi guys,

Can anybody explain how we can collect system information like memory, disks, model(class), processors etc.

Thanks in advance
Rajesh

The main two that I use are:

CFG2HTML
http://come.to/cfg2html

Nickel

You can also get some information from print_manifest which is included with Ignite.

hi,

do u have ignite-ux install in the machine? if so, u may use print_manifest command.

regards.

[Nguyen Anh Tien]

issue these commands
model
dmesg|grep 'physical'
ioscan -fnC disk

to check processor, hmm I dont know how.

You can use sam -> performance monitor -> system properties

or

print_manifest (If iginite-ux is installed)

On 11.23 machine,

use machinfo to get machine information.

1. 'print_manifest' if you have ignite package installed.

2. issue these commands
i) model ; To get Model
ii) dmesg|grep 'physical' ; Amount of Physical memory installed
iii) ioscan -fnC disk ; No. of Disks
iv) ioscan -fnC processor ; To get No. of Processor installed

3. Use the nickel script as suggested above.

KRS,
if you fave installed ignite then
print_manifest would be nice to get
information about your system
so you can easily get system info whenever you want ...
Also again Assuming you have ignite when
you take the sysbck with make_tape_recovery
then it automatically produced the file
manifest in
/var/opt/ignite/recovery/date_time_of_make_tape_recovery/manifest

Good Luck,

Hello,

Please check this link.
We have used nickel to generate the system detail on HP-UX.

Model is simple - type model.

Everything else you can find in sam:

sam -> performance monitors -> system properties.

Hi Rajesh,

print_manifest will give you most of that but as everybody posted, it do not require ignite to be there in the system. In OS revesion later than perhaps June 2004. It is part of standard OS. Allthough it still resides in /opt/ignite/bin directory.

Also it is included in Support Pack June 2004.

HTH,
Devender

From ignite:

/opt/ignite/bin/print_manifest

I also use cfg2html and sysinfo (attached)

from cron
# Run the sysinfo script
0 6 1 * * /usr/local/sysinfo/sysinfo -a -b -o /usr/tmp/`hostname`.sysinfo >/tmp/sysinfo.cron 2>&1

Rgds...Geoff

hey rajesh,

you have got enough ways to know the system information now... but the easiest is ...
Go to SAM--> Performance Monitors--> System Properties. Processor, Memory, OS, network info is given there..

the disks info can be seen in SAM--> Performance Monitors-->Disks.

Thanks
Piyush

Rajesh- I'm a bit surprised that no one suggested the old xstm or stm. there is nothing better to look at the memory dimm layout other than xstm. if you need to increase memory, how many empty slots do you really have ?

Thank you for your valuble time
