CPU

[P.V.Ramesh]

Hi

How do i know the CPU type in HP OS.

example, a machine is containg a processor type PA-8700. Through which command i can get this information.

Appreciate your help.

Hiya,

Take a look at http://forums.itrc.hp.com/cm/QuestionAnswer/1,,0x15b53a7b3682d611abdb0090277a778c,00.html

And remember, you can search these forums too :-)

getconf CPU_CHIP_TYPE
getconf MaCHINE_MODEL #get info about cpu speed

man getconf for more.

[Shannon Petry]

In HP-UX 11, and 11i
getconf CPU_CHIP_TYPE

[RAC_1]

getconf CPU_CHIP_TYPE
and addtional info with
echo "selclass qualifier cpu;info;wait;infolog"|cstm > cpu.info
Check cpu.info file

[P.V.Ramesh]

In my machine the output of the command getconf CPU_CHIP_TYPE is gives 586. I am sure this wrong answer. The machine which i am using is hp9000/800/N-Class.


The suggestions what you all posted is not worked out.

[Jeff Schussele]

Hi P.V.,

Anil has the answer with the cstm command.
Either check the file - it'll be large OR
grep PA cpu.info
you'll get the model.

Rgds,
Jeff

[P.V.Ramesh]

Jeff

It doesn't work. I didn't find PA information.

[Paula J Frazer-Campbell]

Hi

echo "selclass qualifier cpu;info;wait;infolog"|cstm > cpu.info | grep PA

Paula

[Sandip Ghosh]

Run STM
select cpu
go to tools
run info

It will tell you the cpu name at last portion. If you don't have stm, download online diaggonostics from HP for free.

[Shannon Petry]

The getconf CPU_CHIP_TYPE as I stated is only available in HP-UX 11, and 11i
in 10.20 use sam to find this information, or stm.
NOTE: I have seen corruptions in 10.20 which will cause failures looking at cpu information. Make sure your fully patched!

Also, 10.20 is not far from being phases off of support. You may want to look at upgrading soon.

BTW: Nice prod Harry! I really like that one!

Please take the time to refer to the URL that Harry's post pointed to.

Regards,
Shannon

[Pete Randall]

Here's another prod for you, Shannon.

Assign points!!!

[Pete Randall]

And I certainly didn't mean to direct that at you, Shannon - it was intended for P.V.

[Shannon Petry]

Aye Pete... Those are the prods I find in bad taste on the forums. Harry's is nice, subtle and not rude. Could be even considered a bit mis-leading.

Im usually very against prods fer points, but that one I definately give 2 thumbs up!

Shannon

[Pete Randall]

Shannon,

That's why I don't usually prod - I'm not real good at subtle.

Reverting to silent mode,
Pete

[Sanjay_6]

Hi,

Try this,

# model
9000/800/N4000-36

# grep N4000-36 /usr/sam/lib/mo/sched.models
N4000-36 2.0 PA8500

Hope this helps.

Regds

[Shannon Petry]

Pete,

Perhaps with Harry's permission we could all cut-paste that into signatures or prods? works well in my opinion. ;)

Shannon

[H.Merijn Brand (procura]

FWIW

# getconf MACHINE_MODEL

does not work on 10.20

# model

does

And - maybe HP should read this :) - look at this:

Hmmmm, fun :)

[Andrew Morrow_1]

I am surprised to see that my J5600, which definitely has two PA8600 CPU's in it, reports a number via "getconfg CPU_CHIP_TYPE" that corresponds to PA8500. This must be something that is just not properly reflected in this part of the system.

For instance, stm definitely shows two CPUs, Hardware Model 0x5d1, which is listed as

PA 8600-8600 CPU 3.0

But "getconfg CPU_CHIP_TYPE" returns 554 That is 0x22a . Now there are two fields:

lower 5 bits for a "revision", which is 10, and then 6 (or maybe 12?) bits for a model.
Shifting 0x22a down by five bits, we get 0x11 .

Looking in

/usr/include/pa/pdc_rqsts.h:

#define PCXW_CPU_ID 0x11
#define PCXW_PLUS_CPU_ID 0x12

and recognizing that

http://hwdb.parisc-linux.org/

J5000 2.0 PA8500 PCX-W
J5600 2.0 PA8600 PCX-W+


So..., that explains to me why tools like

http://sandyxsystems.co.uk/scripts/code/stats160.txt

tell me that I have PA8500 in my system. I expect that for other true PA8600-based systems, this tools works.
It is really getconf (and the underlying sysconf() and who-knows-what under that) that is wrong!

[Ranjit_3]

Hi ,
To get the CPU Type information , i use

$tail /var/tombstones/ts90

This file will show you the type of CPU installed .


Thanks and Regards,
Ranjit

[Andrew Morrow_1]

There are many output files in my /var/tombstones directory, but this is useful to know.

When I look at the latest file on my system, namely /var/tombstones/ts99 , it starts with these lines and then near the end:

HP-UX hpj5600 B.11.11 U 9000/785 2015621023

CPU-ID( Model ) = 0x11
----------------- Processor 0 HPMC Information ------------------

....

I/O Module Error Log Information:

No valid timestamp

No I/O module errors logged

Module Revision
------------------- --------
System Board 0
PA 8600-8600 CPU 3.0
PA 8600-8600 CPU 3.0
Mem/IO Controller 2.1
PCI Controller #0 2.1

...


But to re-iterate:

J5000 2.0 PA8500 PCX-W PCXW_CPU_ID 0x11

J5600 2.0 PA8600 PCX-W+ PCXW_PLUS_CPU_ID 0x12

so I would have expected the line

CPU-ID( Model ) = 0x12

so I am still wondering why I do not see what I expected

[Andrew Morrow_1]

Huh. Now I see that the J5000 is upgradeable to the J5600.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HP_9000

I wonder if the two systems have "something" in common such that getconf cannot tell the difference.

Hi Ramesh ,

Here is a simple script (sysid.sc) that will tell you , the follwoing things,

1) System model:
2) System Serial Number:
3) Total Configured Memory :
4) CPU Info:
---------------------------

Here is a output shown:

#sysid
Finding System ID and CPU Details . . . .
By: R Veri - -


System model: 9000/800/L2000-36
System Serial Number...: USS43070TE
Total Configured Memory : 2048 MB
PA 8500 CPU Module 2.3
PA 8500 CPU Module 2.3
---------------------------

Hope this helps,
Thanks ,

R.Veri.
