Sysinfo provides detailed information on key HP-UX configuration elements, usefull to gather system information when beginning problem profiling. No tool will resolve an issue just by data gathering. Analysis and judgment is required at every step. Nonetheless, the command goes a good millage to have a first eagle-eye overview of a system.

HPUX::Ioscan - Perl function to handle HPUX ioscan command

This module works on top of the HP-UX command ioscan. It forks a process to run the ioscan command and parses its STDOUT. The result is returned in a hash.

This module is quite basic but it may be interesting if you need to write administration program on HP-UX.

You may call ioscan several time in your program without any problem sicne the result is cached. Only the first call to ioscan will actually run the ioscan command. (But you may override the caching of the result)

ioscan ( [force => 1] )

Will return the result of the ioscan command. The ioscan command is run the first time or if the force parameter is set to 1.

This function returns a hash ref. The keys of the hash are all the hardware paths found on your system.

The value is another hash ref containing these keys :

See ioscan(1M) for the meaning of these keys.

The value of device_files is an array containing the name of the device files attached to the hardware path.

Heres an example of the structure returned for 1 disk:

This module takes the output from the ioscan command and hashes it into an object. You can then access its attributes via its AUTOLOADED methods i or other custom methods.

It utilizes the Storable module for persistance so once called you can then recall it without re-running the command and/or wait for the network by setting persistance from 'new' to 'old'.

Remote node access is supported via remsh or ssh. ssh is highly recommended since the ioscan command that the script runs needs root.

new

The main object constructor that returns the hash refrence. The keys of the hash are all the hardware paths on your system. It accepts the following paramters:

The value is another hash ref containing there keys :

See ioscan(1M) for the meaning of these keys.

Heres an example of the structure returned for 1 disk:

Partial Ioscan Object (disk only). Illustrates the optional extended diskinfo option.

get_device_hwpath(device_name=>'/dev/dsk/c4t3d0')

get_device_diskinfo(device_name=>'/dev/dsk/c4t3d0', attribute=>'size')

The iocan command is run in blocking mode and may indeed block for several seconds on big systems.

The target of a drd clone operation mustbe a single disk or SAN LUN that is write-accessible to the systemand not currently in use. Depending on your HP-UX operating system,refer to one of the following sections:

To help find and select the target disk on an HP-UX 11i v2 system,you can find out what disks are on the system with the ioscan command:

The ioscan command displays a list of systemdisks with identifying information, location, and size. On a PA-RISCsystem, the output looks similar to Example 2-1.

Example 2-1 The ioscan -fnkC disk Command Output onan HP-UX 11i v2 PA-RISC System

On an Integrity system, the output looks similar to Example2-2.

Example 2-2 The ioscan -fnkC disk Command Output onan HP-UX 11i v2 Integrity System

Linux Disk Wwn

If you have recently added a disk to your system you may needto run ioscan without the -k optionto display the new disk. See the ioscan(1M) manpage for more informationabout ioscan options.

To help find and select the target disk on an Integrity systemrunning HP-UX 11i v3 (11.31), you can find out what disks are on thesystem with the ioscan command:

Cod4 key code generator downloads. The ioscan command displays a list of systemdisks with identifying information, location, and size. On an Integritysystem running HP-UX 11i v3, the output looks similar to Example2-3.

Example 2-3 The ioscan -fNnkC disk Command Output onan HP-UX 11i v3 Integrity System

Additionally, on HP-UX 11i v3 Integrity systems, you may findit useful to use the following ioscan command toidentify persistent and legacy DSFs:

Example 2-4 The ioscan -m dsf Command Output on an HP-UX11i v3 Integrity System
