Commands to determine server configuration.

[GnanaShekar]

Hi,

We have a couple of servers in our lab running OpenVMS. I have been assigned a task to determine hardware configuration of these servers. Please suggest some commands that would give the following information:
1. Type and No of CPU's, also their speed,
2. Amount of RAM.
3. No of Hard disk and their size.

Thanks & Regards,

Easy, lots of ways, here are some...

1. $ anal/sys
SDA> CLUE CONFIG

2. $ sh mem
3. $ sh dev/full d

Kind Regards
John.

Gnana,

Welcome to the OpenVMS ITRC forum. I will keep the instructions as straightforward as I can, since it would appear that you are not a experienced OpenVMS user.

To display the CPU type, the SHOW CPU command should be used. It will also show information about muultiple processors, if present.

The SHOW MEMORY command will give you the memory capacity.

SHOW DEVICES D will produce a list of disk devices.

Without writing a DCL program to iterate down the list of disks, the easiest way to determine the capacity of the disks is to do a SHOW DEVICE/FULL on each disk in the list produced in the previous step.

I hope that the above is helpful.

Hi,

I have a couple of questions:

1. How do I determine the CPU SPEED.
2. I get the following from "show devices d". How to determine which of the below is a hard disk and what is its size.

$ show devices d

Device Device Error Volume Free Trans Mnt
Name Status Count Label Blocks Count Cnt
CSWS2$DKA0: Mounted 0 ALPHASYS 57501891 433 1
CSWS2$DKA100: Mounted 0 WRK001 45679737 1 1
CSWS2$DQA0: Online 0
CSWS2$DQA1: Online 1
CSWS2$DQB0: Online 1
CSWS2$DQB1: Online 1
CSWS2$DVA0: Online 0

Please suggest,
Thanks & Regards,

$ sh cpu will say something like
AlphaServer DS10 466 MHz

but the simplest is to use the tool vms_check from the openvms technical journal, see

http://h71000.www7.hp.com/openvms/journal/v7/vms_check_tool.html

You will then have .html files with the detailed configuration of your Vms nodes

1. show cpu
show cpu/full
show sys/nopro/full

2. show mem/phy

3. show dev d/full/out=a.a
show a.a/win=(0,4) "Total blocks"

Hi,
this is my list:

1.SHO CPU
You can see CPU and speed.

2.SHO MEM/PHYS
See physical RAM.

3.SHO DEV D/MOUNT
See just working HDs.
SHO DEV D/MOUN/FULL/PAGE
See detailed list of working HDs.
SHO DEV D
See all disks.

Don't forget
HELP SHOW
is your friend

Hi,
try to SHOW_NODE_INFO.COM. It's attached, because I forgot the site where I downloaded it :-)

Gnana,

On later generation Alpha systems, the last number in the Name section of the SHOW CPU display (e.g., the "233" in "Alphastation 200 4/233") is the clock frequency of the CPU.

In the output of the SHOW DEVICES D that you posted, the devices of interest are the DK devices. Doing a SHOW DEVICE/FULL DKA??? (where ??? is the number of the device) will list the total capacity of the drive in blocks (one block == 512 bytes). The large number shown in the output of the SHOW DEVICE command listing that you posted is the currently available free space on each volume.
