how to display the size of a hdisk in AIX

Description

To display the size of disk in AIX:

# bootinfo -s hdiskx

Example

bootinfo -s hdisk0

how to find the number of cores per processor in AIX

Description

To find out how many cores per cpu in AIX:

# lscfg -vpl sysplanar0 | grep -i way

4-WAY PROC CUOD :

4-WAY PROC CUOD :

In this case, we have a quad-core.

# pmcycles -m         [ Cpu core output ]  total no of cores running

# lscfg -vpl sysplanar0 | grep -i way

2-WAY PROC CUOD :

2-WAY PROC CUOD :

In this case, we have a dual-core.

Example

lscfg -vpl sysplanar0 | grep -i way

                                    

#lscfg -vp | grep -e "Memory DIMM" -e "Size"


Will show memory installed in system

how to find the serial number of an IBM p-series machine

Description

To help those who need to check their IBM p-series machine serial number without having to physically go there to look for the serial number:

# lscfg -vp | grep Cabinet

Example

lscfg -vp | grep Cabinet

                                                                       

To find the world-wide name (WWN) or network address of a fibre-channel (FC) card in IBM AIX:

First find the name of your fibre-channel cards:

# lscfg | grep fcs

Then get the WWN (for fcs0 in this example):

# lscfg -vp -l fcs0 | grep "Network Address"

Example

lscfg -vp -l fcs0 | grep "Network Address"


lsdev -Cc adapter -> adapter cards
lsdev -Cc disk -> disks
lsdev -Cc processor -> CPU's
lsattr -El sys0 -> serial number, model number, memory
lsvg -o -> active volume groups
lsvg -p vgname -> disk drives in VG
lsvg -l  vgname -> LV's in VG
lslv  lvname -> LV detail
lslv -l lvname -> LV disk location
lspv -> disks
lspv -l hdisk# -> LV's residing on a disk
lsdev -Cc if -> List network interfaces

HP UX

model - to print hardware model information in HP/UX

Description

To print hardware model information in HP/UX:

# model

pvdisplay - to display physical volume information in HP/UX

Description

To display physical volume information in HP/UX:

# pvdisplay -v /dev/dsk/c#t#d#

Example

prtconf - to get hardware information in Sun Solaris

Description

To get hardware information in Sun Solaris:

# prtconf -v

Example

prtconf -v

           

prtdiag - to list hardware configuration in Sun Solaris

Description

To list hardware configuration in Sun Solaris:

# /usr/platform/`uname -i`/sbin/prtdiag -v

Note: works on sun4u and sun4d only

Example

/usr/platform/`uname -i`/sbin/prtdiag -v

psrinfo - display information about processors in Sun Solaris

Description

To display information about processors in Sun Solaris:

# psrinfo [-v] [processor_id...]

# psrinfo -s processor_id

Without the processor_id operand, psrinfo displays one line for each configured processor, displaying whether it is on-line, non-interruptible (designated by no-intr), off-line, or powered off, and when that status last changed. Use the processor_id operand to display information about a specific processor.

The -v flag displays info about all configured processors in verbose mode.

Example

psrinfo 1
