How much RAM installed on Itanium?

[Klaus Claassen]

Hi,

on PA-RISC systems I was able to find out
about the installed RAM with

echo phys_mem_pages/D | \
adb64 -k /stand/vmunix /dev/kmem

Unfortunately, this doesnt' work on my
Itanium (11.23) system,
using the adb -o option (backward
compatibility mode) :

echo phys_mem_pages/D | \
adb -o /stand/vmunix /dev/kmem

phys_mem_pages:
phys_mem_pages: 0

I know that the machine doesn't have
much RAM, but 0 (zero) pages
doesn't look completely correct ... :)
(In reality, it has 1 GB)

Can someone help me with the correct
adb syntax (or give me a hint which tool
to use instead) ?

TIA,
Klaus Claassen

Use machinfo command to find RAM,CPU usage there. dmesg | grep Phy also be used there.

You can use sam --> performance monitor --> system informations --> memory
will be also used to find RAM size.

Try /opt/ignite/bin/print_manifest if it's installed.

Hi,

# dmesg | grep Physical

This will display the RAM in your system.

Hope that helps,

Hi,
use command:
/usr/contrib/bin/machinfo

Hi all,

thanks for the immediate responses (the
fastest reply arrived after 2 minutes) !

For me, the machinfo and the
print_manifest tips are most valuable,
but also information about
sam->Performance Monitors -> System Properties
is interesting.

Since the buffer for system error messages is small, dmesg is only helpful on systems which have been rebooted recently.

Regards,
Klaus

Hi Klaus,

The adb command did not work as the variable is 8 bytes long and the D format prints only 4 bytes.

In this case it is better to use adb without the -o option. The following command will give you the output you want:

echo phys_mem_pages/jd|adb /stand/vmunix /dev/kmem

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

try this for a board inventory if STM is installed:

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