[Sergio Anibal Soria]

Hi,

I'm a newbie with Tru64 and I need to know
memory information like "show mem" and "show fru" commands of SRM. In other words, i need view the results of commands "show mem" and "show fru" but I can't shutdown the alphaserver to run this commands in the SRM, how can i do this ??

Thanks for your help!

You can use OS commands to view device data.

vmstat -P will give you the ammount of RAM.
hwmgr will give you information about the hardware.
Some systems provides another console known as RMC, SCM, MBM, depending of the model, you access via special scape secuence keys.

What is the information that you need?

Ivan thanks for the responce.

I need part of the info given for SRM command "show fru", this is the Dimms of memory populated in the machine. I need to change memory Dimms and need known the actual state of the system to view what is the best configurations of dimms to populate. I believe that don't there are more dimms slots free in this moment and need check it.

Thanks again y sorry for yhe english.

Maybe you (should) have a console management system login all console messages? Sroll back to the last >>> SHOW FRU ?


- Check out SYS_CHECK ?
doesn't that get things like 'dia FRU Record'
Is that the diag tool?

- Check out WEBM tools?
WEBM --> Insight Manager --> cpq_mibs / os_mibs

Maybe shortcut with: /usr/sbin/cpq_mibs -d
or maybe you can find a more recent patch version like:
/var/opt/CPQIM320/bin/cpq_mibs

Just some thoughts,
This is not an area I've paid much attention to. I'm a hands on guy... go to the box, call out 'oops', and look at the stuff :-).

Hi,

What AlphaServer are you talking about specifically...?

On newer models (ES47, ES80 etc.) you can get this sort of information from the MBM without shutting down the OS.

On older kit I don't think its possible, without getting to the SRM - although you might get something from sys_check...

Hope this helps,

Regards,

Rob

thanks for yours responces.

The only way to view this information is in the SRM, my machine is a older version.

Thanks, Sergio.
