Hi,

Open your windows calculator, scientific view, set into Hex mode, paste 1f5d0400 and change to Dec mode. That's all.

You must obtain 526189568.

How it works:

(1x16^7+15x16^6+5x16^5+13x16^4+0x16^3+4x16^2+0x16^1+0x16^0)=526189568


a=10
b=11
c=12
d=13
e=14
f=15

Thanks,

[harry d brown jr]

or better :

# perl -e 'print 0x1f5d0400,"\n";'
526189568

It's a sort of British racing green with two zeros's at the end which probably signifies "white".

The above two posts are acurate if you wish to "decode" your hex number to decimal. However, you haven't actually specified this so I've assumed you want to decode it to a colour instead.

Hi,

I would guess that you refer to SCSI resets in syslog.log where you see 0x1f5d0400.
If it is so then I can say you:

1f = it is a device of class DISK
5d = bus 'I don't know what is the exact number'
04 = target 'it should be 4'
00 = lun 0

Definitively it should be something like
/dev/dsk/cXt4d0.

Is that your problem?

Best regards,
Ettore

Hi Vishwanath
The following example shows how you may convert from decimal to hex using the bc command.

user@hpux> bc
ibase=10
obase=16
2012933361
77FAECF1



In the preceding 2012933361 is the decimal value, and 77FAECF1 is the hexadecimal equivalent.
Use Ctrl-D or your End-of-File character to exit bc
