How to find RAM size in HPUX 11.23?

[Navin Jain]

Hi,

Does any one know how to find size of RAM in the server running HPUX 11.23?

I am interested in finding in batch mode, not using SAM.

I have checked HP FAQ and question 8.32 describe the adb command. It works well for 11.00 and 11.11 but does work for 11.23

Any one has cracked adk command option for hpux 11.23?

Hi Navin,

Try these commands
# machinfo | grep Memory

Following commands gives you number of 4k memory pages.
# echo "p phys_mem_pages/jd" | adb /stand/vmunix /dev/kmem
or
# echo "phys_mem_pages/2d" | adb /stand/vmunix /dev/kmem

Hi Navin,

You can get these information from ,

# machinfo

# /opt/ignite/bin/print_manifest

# sam --> Performance Monitors --> System Properties --> Memory

Hi Sameer / Arunvijai,

Thanks for the commands.

1. The command /usr/contrib/bin/machinfo works fine on hpux 11.23 with IA64. I could not find machinfo command on hpux 11.23 PA-RISC? Any idea from where can I download machinfo for hpux 11.23?

2. The adb command works great with hpux 11.23 IA64, but not with hpux 11.23 PA-RISC?

It seems that hpux 11.23 has different version for PA and IA?

Hi Navin,

"machinfo" is not available in 11.23 PA. It is only for IA-64. You can use "/opt/ignite/bin/print_manifest" or SAM to get the information. That should be easier way.

Hi Navin,

what about :
# echo "selclass qualifier Memory; info ; wait ; il" | cstm | grep "Total Configured Memory"
Total Configured Memory: 65536 MB


if OnlineDiag is installed.

Thanks everyone for their suggestion and help.

The best options for 11.23 are:

1. IA system: /usr/contrib/bin/machinfo | grep "Memory"
or
echo "p phys_mem_pages/jd" | adb /stand/vmunix /dev/kmem
or
echo "phys_mem_pages/2d" | adb /stand/vmunix /dev/kmem

2. On a system where Ignite-UX is installed:

/opt/ignite/bin/print_manifest

3. still trying to find the command of hpux 11.23 on PA-RISC system.

4. On a system where OnlineDiag is installed

# echo "selclass qualifier Memory; info ; wait ; il" | cstm | grep "Total Configured Memory"

5. I cannot rely on dmesg output because the Memory size output may not be available.

Regards
