Memory size 11.23 PA

[Claus Hedegaard]

How can I get memory size on a hpux 11.23 running PA-risc ?

[Pete Randall]

I use a little script:

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

I believe that it will work on 11.23, though I haven't tried it.

Hi Claus,

There are many ways: Dmesg/cstm/glance plus etc

Try any one of them

Cheers!!!

I use the same method, but it's not working on 11.23..

[Claus Hedegaard]

I would like to do it the script way. I am collecting data. Look in att. for HPUX and Linux

Claus,

the problem is that both, phys_mem_pages and memory_installed_in_machine are long integers in 11.23. Your (old) adb command only scans the most significant word... which is typically 0 nowadays. :)

Using the new adb syntax, this should work:
# echo "memory_installed_in_machine/ld" | adb -n /stand/vmunix /dev/kmem

Workaround using the old adb style:
# echo "memory_installed_in_machine/DD" | adb /stand/vmunix /dev/kmem

Best regards...
Dietmar.
