HP-UX system information

[Biker007]

Hi,

I'm writing a script to display a lot of information which best describe a server (OS distrib, release, Hardware platform, CPU, HD, S/N...).
For Linux side it is ok as you have almost all the information in /proc/cpuinfo, /proc/meminfo... and you can use dmidecode but for HP-UX I didn't find such files and command.
Could you please help me?

Best regards

Hi:

Since I am sure that you create Ignite recovery tapes for your server, you already have a nice summary in the form of the Ignite manifest:

# /var/opt/ignite/recovery/latest/manifest

You can also manually run:

# print_manifest

See the manpages for more information.

Regards!

Hi,

run print_manifest command. It genrates long output with around all data about system.

#print_manifest

cheers.

Why re-invent the wheel? There are numerous tools out there to do this.

One I use quite extensively is cfg2html and it is available for LOTS of platforms.

Here's my canned answer to this frequently asked question:


If you have Ignite installed, you can use the print_manifest command.

You can also use SAM to display system properties (Sam -> Performance
Monitors -> System Properties).

There are also utilities like "cfg2html" ( http://come.to/cfg2html ),
"nickel" ( ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/catia/Utils/nickel.shar ) and "sysinfo"
( http://hpux.cs.utah.edu/hppd/hpux/Sysadmin/sysinfo-3.3.1/ ).

You can also obtain this information from the command line with a
series of little scripts like these:

CPU

HPUX=/stand/vmunix

MODEL=$(grep -i $(model | tr "/" " " \
| awk '{print $NF}') \
/usr/sam/lib/mo/sched.models \
| awk '{print $NF}')

#Note: for 11.23 RISC, use
MHZ=$(echo itick_per_tick/D \ # echo "itick_per_usec/d" \
| adb -k $HPUX /dev/kmem \ # | adb $HPUX /dev/kmem
| tail -1 \ #For Itanium, use machinfo
| awk '{print $2/10000}')
echo `hostname` has `ioscan -k |grep -n processor \
|wc -l` $MODEL $MHZ "Mhz processor(s)"


Number of CPUs

ioscan -k |grep -n processor |wc -l


Support Tools Manager (STM) CPU info:

echo "selclass qualifier cpu;info;wait;infolog" | cstm




RAM

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


Support Tools Manager (STM) RAM info:

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




You can obtain CPU speed and RAM without CSTM or root access as described by Tom
