Discover installed memory on N4000 HP-UX 11.00 ysstem

[BOB BARBA]

What tools/commands are available in HP-UX 11.0 to discover how much physical memory is installed on the system and what size modules they are?
Thanks in advance .......... BobB

Hi Bob,

dmesg |grep Phy
will show you the amount of physical memory you have on the system. Look for the amount displayed against Physical:

Hope this helps.

thanks

If you have STM (xstm is the graphical interface) it will tell you exactly that.

Hi,

you can use STM to find out the size of the modules you have on the system. Look for information on memory.

Hope this helps.

thanks
P.S. : you can use STM in graphical mode from a CDE environment using "xstm".

Hi Bob:

If you want to see what's physically installed, including chip sizes, use STM (Support Tools Manager):

# echo "selclass qualifier memory;info;wait;infolog"|cstm > /tmp/meminfo

If you don't have STM installed, you can obtain it from here:

Hi,


You can find the total memory from

dmesg|grep -i physical

If you want to find the size of modules I don't know any commands in hpux.But from PDC prompt while booting the system,you can find it.
Go to information menu and give ME.

I've written a small program that returns the amount of memory available on the sytem. I've had to write this because many a times dmesg no longer has the bootup messages in its buffer. I've attache the program to this message. Just save it as ram.c and do a make ram.

Best tool is stm ( or xstm in X environment).

Be aware of confusions between modules and chips...

[James R. Ferguson]

Hi Carlos:

Yes, I should have said "modules" instead of "chips".

Hi
Any version of cstm (cstm or xstm) will show you total physical memory in your system with details to which modules in which slots (memory carriors).
#cstm -> map -> sel dev ->info ->il


You may try the utility SysInfo to get same information.
Here is the link to same.

Hi Jim:

I mean diffences between modules and DIMMs

2 DIMMS -> 1 module, Do you remember?

Chips or DIMMs, now is me who is confused :-).

[BOB BARBA]

Thanks very much to you all for your feedback.

I have successfully used cstm to gather the information I was after.
