nickel for Itanium 11iv2 server.

[Jeeshan]

Dear all

I have 1 rx8640 server. I have nickel but it shows some warning and hangged.

Can anyone give me the latest nickel for Itanium server.

BTW OS is 11iv2.

Nickel is just a script, not a compiled binary so the OS version doesn't matter. What "warnings" are you getting?

i'm getting the following lines while running nickel

adb: info: Option -k is deprecated.
adb: warning: Unrecognized format character - 'U'.
adb: info: Option -k is deprecated.
adb: warning: Unrecognized format character - 'D'.
adb: info: Option -k is deprecated.
adb: warning: Unrecognized format character - 'X'.
adb: info: Option -k is deprecated.

adb: info: Option -k is deprecated.

Edit the nickel script and remove the "-k" from all the "adb" commands. That will cure your warnings. Now, why it's hanging is another story. It can take quite a while to run - are you sure it's really hung?

After I posted I noticed the U, D, and X warnings. For those, you'll need to compare the 11iV1 man page for adb with the 11iV2 version to determine what those options did in V1 and what you need to do to replicate that functionality in V2.

Instead of nickel, try sysinfo instead.


Run from cron like so:

# Run the sysinfo script
0 6 1 * * /usr/bin/SysInfo -a -b -o /usr/tmp/`hostname`.sysinfo ; /usr/bin/chmod 644 /usr/tmp/`hostname`.sysinfo >/tmp/sysinfo.cron 2>&1


I've attached version 5.06.
