how to find the RAM size on HP machine

[madhavabk]

Hi
i am using pa-risc 11.11 HP machine i want to find the RAM size on the machine, I am putting this info in java program so i dont want any command that has | (PIPE) symbol.

[Kennethyap]

use this command
#dmesg
will display the total physical memory

[Kennethyap]

U can the the physical memory module by going in to the main menu after server boot -up.
In main menu going to information and select "me"

[Anitha_3]

hi,

u can use

#dmesg |more --- look for physcal memory

or
#more /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log

regards,
Govind.

Sorry, This solution does not work.

I am looking at some command that will give me some details from which i can take the RAM size and the size info should be in fixed pattern so that i can parse. i am using the command in the java program. In the syslog or dmesg the location and contents will change dynamically.

you should use cstm tool (just type cstm at command line). and then type:
sall
il


find the size of each RAM on slot correcponding!

hi,

check if the following command helps!

echo "selclass qualifier memory;info'wait;infolog" | cstm

Hi
i am right now using the command
echo "selclass qualifier memory;info'wait;infolog" | cstm itself but this the pipe symbol is not taken by the java program. The API i am using is getRuntime.exec()

Thanks

Hi,
See if this one works.

# dmesg | grep Physical

We can do get with SAM as,

sam --> Performance Monitors --> System Properties --> Memory
Physical Memory: ..... MB

HTH.

Or use the attached script called hpmem.

We can get RAM size from with dmesg command as,

dmesg | awk '/Physical/ { print "RAM Size = "$2/1024" "MB }'

HTH.

This little script will do it for you:

HPUX=/stand/vmunix
MAJORREV=$(uname -r | cut -f2 -d .)
if [ $MAJORREV -ge "11.0" ]
then
MYSYMBOL="phys_mem_pages"
else
MYSYMBOL="physmem"
fi

MYMEM=$(echo "${MYSYMBOL}/D" \
| adb $HPUX /dev/kmem \
| grep "${MYSYMBOL}: *." \
| awk '{printf "%.0f MB\n",$2/256}')
echo $MYMEM
