How can I know the hardware configuration of the HPUX box

[quickhand_2]

I mean how many cpus it has, and the the size of the memory and hard disk.

Another question:
From the model command's output, how can I know the offcial product name of the machine(the name pattern is as "HP 9000 rp8420-32",)?
model's output:
9000/785/C3000

Thanks.

Hi,
You can use /opt/ignite/bin/print_manifest command to get the hardware and software information on your server.
Also you can use "stm", "ioscan","top","dmesg" etc commands to know more about your system.

Hope that helps.

To check how many CPUs it have check "top" output you are finding in "cpu states" one line for each CPU.
To check memory check dmesg output and look for "Memory Information" section.
To check HD check "ioscan -fnkC disk" output

You can also use sam or SysInfo tool.

Hi,

You can use ioscan command to get most of the information about hardware.

ioscan -funCdisk
ioscan -fun|grep processor


/opt/ignite/bin/print_manifest

Hi,

I've got this small script that will gather all hardware, software and other system config, very usefull specially when times you need to rebuilt your server.

Check this website to download updated cfg2html.sh or use the attached file.

IF you are 11.20 > versions then,

we can use machinfo


Else,

dmesg, ioscan, model, uname, top needed there.

Simply use sysinfo script more.

HTH.

go to your /tmp folder and run the nickel script. it is in /opt/contrib/bin folder. When u run the script you will output will go in a tar.gz format in a filenamed nickel.hostname.tar.gz. You can ftp this and open these flles in windows. I bet the output is simply superb and you will got a whole lot of information about your system

The easiest way is to execute /opt/ignite/bin/print_manifest. Not only it gives details about the disk layout & size of each disk, it gives the details like h/w path, also gives details about major kernel parameters, IP address related details. It also gives details like system serial No., no. of CPUs, amount of memory.

The round about method is to use top command to find out number of CPUs, use dmesg (or /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log file & find "Physical") command to find out amount of memory. After determining the device path (e.g. - /dev/dsk/c1t3d5) using "ioscan
-kfnCdisk", use "diskinfo /dev/rdsk/c1t3d5" to find out the size details for that disk.

The o/p of model command indicates what underlying h/w it has. 800 indicates it is a server (while 700 indicates it is a workstation), while rp8420 or rp7410 indicates it is a rp8400 series or rp7400 series machine. In case of rp8400 series m/c, if you are using PA8700 series CPUs, this machine can go upto 16 CPUs max. If using PA8800 (the latest one with 1GHz clock), the capacity simply doubles. i.e. rp8400 series m/c can have 32 CPUs.
