quick way to see RAM configuration

[Alessandro Potenziani]

Hi guys,


do you know the quickest way to see inside an rp4440 box the RAM HW config.?
In particular I would know how many slots are full and how many still remain for an upgrade.


Thank you very much,
Alessandro Potenziani

Hi Alessandro,

# echo "selclass qualifier memory;info;wait;infolog" | /usr/sbin/cstm

# echo "gop cstmpager cat;scl type mem;info;wait;il"|cstm > /tmp/mem.out

view mem.out file

Hello,

# machinfo | grep Memory

Using SAM:
# sam --> Performance Monitors --> System Properties --> Memory


Using CSTM (STM): < This could give you the better output >
system#cstm
cstm>map
cstm>sel dev 34 (34 is the device listed for my memory)
cstm>info
cstm>il

Hope this helps,

Rgds,

Hi,

the rp4440 can either have 16 or 32 memory slots.
Maybe it depends on the diagnostic version, but I have seen cstm is only reporting occupied slots so far.

OK, if you have a number between 16 and 32 memory modules, you are using the 32 slot extender.

At least the "in me" command (info memory) from the boot menu prompt will tell you the information about every slot - full or free:

Main Menu: Enter command or menu > in me

Here's the cstm output on an rp4440 w/8GB RAM running HP-UX 11iv1:

As you can see, empty slots do appear. Of course, my version of cstm (A.53.05) may be different from yours.

@spex: good to know.

This was from my logs:

Unable to tell the number of slots.

But it must be an old version.

Newer versions should report better results, like yours.

[Andrew Merritt_2]

Regarding the display of empty slots, there was a defect in the STM memory info tool which meant that on some server types the empty slots were not shown. rp4440 was one of the system types affected.

This was fixed in the C.51.00 release for 11.23, and the A.52.00 release for 11.11.

If you see the problem on these or later versions, let me know.

I would go into cstm and run a map command. The select the device you are interested in, sel dev x, in your case memory. THen run a infolog, this will give you the details you are after.
