strange reported memory

[Mark2010_1]

Hello

Still working on my old K380, /usr/sam/lbin/getmem reported 80 Mb while this server is assumed to have 1Gb.

Is is a bug or missing patch ? How to ensure the correct value?

Try this script instead (not too sure what getmem does - as it reports strange on my systems):

# cat /usr/local/bin/hpmem
#!/bin/ksh
#
# Taken from the HP/UniGraphics FAQ
# You must be ROOT to execute this since it uses adb to
# examine the running kernel
#
GetKernelSymbol()
{
echo "$1/D" | \
adb $hpux /dev/kmem | \
tr "\012" " " | \
read junk junk2 kval
}
hpux=/hp-ux
rev=$(uname -r | cut -d. -f2)
if ((rev > 9)); then hpux=/stand/vmunix ;fi
/bin/uname -a
# if 11iv2 or higher - get cpu this way
ver=$(uname -r | cut -d. -f3)
if ((ver > 22)); then
kval=`echo "processor_count/D" | adb /stand/vmunix /dev/kmem |tail -1|awk -F: '{print $2}' `
else
GetKernelSymbol "processor_count"
fi
print CPU Count: $kval
GetKernelSymbol "itick_per_tick"
let speed=kval/10000
print CPU Speed: $speed MHz
if ((rev > 10)); then
print CPU HW Support: `getconf HW_CPU_SUPP_BITS`-bit
print Kernel Support: `getconf KERNEL_BITS`-bit
GetKernelSymbol "memory_installed_in_machine"
else
GetKernelSymbol "physmem"
fi
# if 11iv2 or higher - get memory this way
ver=$(uname -r | cut -d. -f3)
if ((ver > 22)); then
kernel=$(/usr/sbin/kcpath -x)
hexval=$(echo "phys_mem_pages/A" | adb $kernel /dev/kmem|tail +2|awk '{print $2}')
REAL_MEM=$(echo ${hexval}=D|adb)
mb=$(expr ${REAL_MEM} / 256)
else
let mb=kval*4/1024 # convert pages to MB
fi
print RAM Size: $mb MB
GetKernelSymbol "bufpages"
let mb=kval*4/1024 # convert pages to MB
print bufpages: $mb MB
GetKernelSymbol "maxuprc"
print maxuprc: $kval
GetKernelSymbol "maxvgs"
print maxvgs: $kval
GetKernelSymbol "maxfiles"
print maxfiles: $kval
GetKernelSymbol "max_thread_proc"
print max_thread_proc: $kval
GetKernelSymbol "nfile"
print nfile: $kval

Thanks :-)
I got again my expected 1Gb.
