physmem : symbol not found.

[Bill McNAMARA_1]

Hi,
one of my scripts is coming up with this:

echo physmem/D | adb64 -k /stand/vmunix /dev/mem | tail -1 | awk '{print $2/256 " Mbytes"}'
0 Mbytes

!

echo physmem/D | adb64 -k /stand/vmunix /dev/mem
symbol not found


echo phys_mem_pages/D | adb64 -k /stand/vmunix /dev/mem | tail -1 | awk '{print $2/256 " Mbytes"}'
1024 Mbytes

Also,
/usr/sam/lbin/getmem
48

48 whats??

So, who can tell me how much RAM, I have in this box.

Thanks,
Bill

Bill,

It is weird but /usr/sam/lbin/getmem should return your RAM (in MB). That number is too low on your system.

This is "what" outputs on getmem on my system, HP-UX 11.0, 9000/800.

# what /usr/sam/lbin/getmem
/usr/sam/lbin/getmem:

Bill,

Here's what I use:

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 '{print $2*4/1024}')
echo $MYMEM

What's your OS version?

Pete

[Pete Randall]

Sorry, I can't read. Your OS version is 11.0 so you need to use phys_mem_pages rather than physmem.

Bill,

Do you have glance on your box? If so, you can try:

# /opt/perf/bin/glance -m

and look for "Phys Mem:" at the end of the line next to the last. To quit glance, type "q".

Hai

[Bill McNAMARA_1]

I don't have glance installed, but if I did am nearly positive that it will give me yet another value...

Is there not an easy way? or at least one that works?!

Later,
Bill

[Pete Randall]

Bill,

I really can't read, I guess. You did try phys_mem_pages. I tried both my method and yours on my 11.0 N-class and came up with 8192 Mbytes. /usr/sam/lbin/getmem, however, came up with 192.
So, I'm with you - 192 what?

What does dmesg say about memory?

Pete

[Hai Nguyen_1]

Bill,

How about this?

# dmesg | grep "Physical:"

The first value is your RAM in KB.
