How to know the Servers Configuration?

[Deepu Chakravarty]

I have different servers like rp7420,rp8420,rp4440 and storage like EVA 3000, running HP-UX 11.11.
I need to know the detailed server configurations of each of these servers. Is there any unix command which can give these information? Or any other method?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Deepu ,

U can check your server configuration with Nickel or cfg2html script , these are available on net free of cost .

It will genrate an output in html format, u can then FTP the same to your PC.

This will give u all reuired information

I use nickel and cfg2html tools to collect our servers configurations.

Hi,

You can use one of the two methods.

#/opt/ignite/bin/print_manifest

Or download nickel and install on all server. It can be run periodically on all server so that you have updated OS information as well alongwith detailed configuration.

It is available here.

Hi Deepu,

You can use SAM to get the server configuration in easy way.
By
SAM --> Performance Monitors --> System Properties

If you are interested know the server h/w information in details and there activities and error if any You can use command

# stm : GUI OR # cstm : CLI

stm and cstm is part of Online Diag package.

How to use cfg2html? I have downloaded "cfg2html_hpux_3.15-20050929.depot" and installed in one of my test server through 'swinstall'. Now question is how to use it.

[Muthukumar_5]

You can use sysinfo script from,

http://hpux.connect.org.uk/hppd/hpux/Sysadmin/sysinfo-3.3.1/

It is useful to get all related information.

If you are having ignite-ux then,

ignite-ux:

print_manifest

with sam:

sam-> performance monitor -> system properties

Yes, cfg2html is quite explanatory. But one thing is not clear "why enable/disable collectors in parameter list?" For example, if option -H is disable what is the option for enable it?
