Machinfo on PA-RISC systems
When the HP-UX Itanium version was released it came with a very handy tool named machinfo. This command prints number and type of CPUs, amount of memory, firmware revision, serial number, machine id and many more useful information about the server. Sadly on PA-RISC we didn’t have something similar, of course there is print_manifest and I have to say that it’s quite a tool but I always loved the simplicity of machinfo.
Dozens of posts have been thrown throughout the years on ITRC Forums asking for a PA-RISC machinfo version and many workarounds and even some binaries have been posted.
I tried a lot of them but since I discovered Patrick Reut’s version a couple of years ago I never used another one. It works on 11.11 and 11.23 systems, I tried on 10.20 but didn’t wok. The binary can found in this post as an attachment.
Here it an example output of the command:
