Hi - Basic question from newbie
I need to find out how to verify hardware installed on HPUX server. Mid-range server - as in i need to prove to customer that a specific cpu is installed, so much memory is installed, etc.
PLEASE HELP.
TA
A combination of dmesg and sam (sys admin tool) should provide you with what you need.
You might like to try the following:
#!/usr/bin/ksh
. $HOME/.profile
/opt/ignite/bin/print_manifest > $RECOVERYDIR/`hostname`/manifest.txt
echo >> $RECOVERYDIR/`hostname`/manifest.txt
echo "Non Default Kernel Parameters" >> $RECOVERYDIR/`hostname`/manifest.txt
echo >> $RECOVERYDIR/`hostname`/manifest.txt
/usr/sbin/kctune -Sd >> $RECOVERYDIR/`hostname`/manifest.txt
mailx -s "Manifest for `hostname`" $Operations_reports < $RECOVERYDIR/`hostname`/manifest.txt
Incidentals:
$Operations_reports - refers to an email distribution list.
$RECOVERYDIR - refers to a location on the file system.
Hope that helps some. 
Cheers,
Cameron
If you search the HP-UX forum you will find dozens of threads. Here is one:
ioscan -k -is the typical place to start, this provides list of all hardware
dmesg -is the easiest way to get physical memory
SAM is also a great way to get the overview.
Some typical programatic specifics are below.
PROC_SPEED=`echo itick_per_usec/D | adb -k /stand/vmunix /dev/kmem |awk -F: 'NR>1 {print $2}'`
NU_PROC=`echo "runningprocs/D" | adb -k /stand/vmunix /dev/kmem |awk -F: 'NR>1 {print $2}'`
MODEL=`model|awk -F/ '{print $3}'`
MEM=`echo "phys_mem_pages/D"| adb -k /stand/vmunix /dev/kmem |awk -F: 'NR>1 {print$2}'`
The trouble with dmesg is that if the box has been up for a while the boot messages may no longer be available via dmesg. Also HP has the pstat system calls to obtain info from the kernel. A non-root user can use them and they are safer than running adb on the kernel. For an example of a perl script see: Obtain Memory on HP UNIX.
Here's a script that will tell you the info:
:
# Name:
# cpumem
#
# Purpose:
# List the CPU & memory particulars of a HP-UX 11i v1 server.
#
#@(#)cpumem.sh PR
nodename=$(uname -n)
model=$(model)
ncpu=$(echo processor_count/D |adb /stand/vmunix /dev/kmem |tail -n 1 |awk '{print $2}')
mhz=$(echo itick_per_tick/D |adb /stand/vmunix /dev/kmem |tail -n 1 |awk '{print $2/10000 " MHz"}')
mb=$(echo phys_mem_pages/D | adb /stand/vmunix /dev/kmem |tail -n 1 |awk '{print $2/256 " MB"}')
echo "$nodename $model ${ncpu} $mhz $mb"
Have U tried machinfo
You guys are incredibly helpful.
I will try these out and let you know how it goes
Thanks again
Lester
machinfo is neat, thanks salaathi

Yes I agree.
machinfo was fantastic.
I believe that machinfo only works for IPF. Can anyone with a PA-RISC system run machinfo? Note that it may be in /usr/contrib/bin.
This credit will goes to unix.com forum only(perderabo).
Today morning only I DIGG THIS FROM OUR SITE.
I've not got machinfo on a couple of 11i v1 systems I'm on.
i have machinfo only on ver 11.23
other servers with 11.00 do not have it.
Perhaps not as good as machinfo on 11.23, but # print_manifest will do it for 11.11 systems.
hi
tried the print_manifest cmd. was helpful, ta.
