how to find out diff between to machines

[Amit Dixit_2]

HI,
I am having HP servers with same H/W the
only difference is the number of processors.

Initially on both the system we restored
the O.S. from Ignite tape backup and
installed the application.

Later on I formatted one of the system and
installed it from the CORE MEDIA.

Now when we try to install that application
it gets installed but the informix databse
server is not initializing which is a part
of that application and it give error
related to rootdbs space

I want to know what is the system config
difference between the one restored from
tape and the one i installed.

How to get KERNEL parameters of both and
patch, installed swlist and how to find
diff between them.

Thanks
Amit

Amit --

1) you can get the kernel parameters of the current kernels on both with:

/usr/lbin/sysadm/system_prep -s system.current

2) swlist -l product | grep PH will give you a list of patches

3) swlist -l product | grep -v PH will give you a list of the other filesets installed on the system.

4) swlist -l fileset -a state | more will show you which filesets are installed completely on each system

Best regards,

You can get the full system information(s) using sysinfo script located at,
http://www.unixguide.net/scripts/hpsysinfo146

IT will give system processor informations, patches, system memory etc..

It will be used to know the difference effectively.

I'd start with kmtune output.

I'd do all the swlist commands above, I'd also run the machines through patch analsys, an option on the itrc main page or patch database page.

This will let you run a little collection script that gets you output files that are easy to diff and come up with a full pactch and product list.

This does not help with third paty non depot apps.

Amit,
FULL marks is okay but you have assigned only to 72 out of 375 responses... Every body spares some time to answer your questions... Scale 1-10 decides the perfection of answer..i think you should follow that. Never mind ... regards,

Well now about your answer, print_manifest command will let you know the entire H/w Software configuration of your servers.. you can compares those outputs and realise the difference..

No points for this one
