NAME

machinfo - print machine information

SYNOPSIS

machinfo [-v][-m]

DESCRIPTION

machinfo prints useful information about the machine. The output includes information about proces-

sors, ﬁrmware revision, and amount of memory. The information about processors and memory in a par-

titioned environment is limited to the partition in which

machinfo is run.

When

machinfo is used in a partition or system using a supported combination of differing processors,

machinfo will display information about each speciﬁc type of processor separately. This applies when

processors with different cache sizes or steppings are combined, as allowed by ﬁrmware and HP-UX.

Beginning in HP-UX 11i v3 (B.11.31),

machinfo reports information for all processors at once.

Options

machinfo recognizes the following option:

-v This option will cause machinfo to print out extra details, such as the sizes of each indivi-

dual level of processor cache, and which optional features of the ISA are supported natively by

the processors.

-m This option will cause machinfo to print out extra details about the memory conﬁguration,

speciﬁcally the amount of Interleaved Memory (ILM) that is conﬁgured on the system. The

data printed will be the percentage of total memory that is conﬁgured as ILM. This data is cal-

culated using pstat_getlocality()

. Refer to the pstat_getlocality(2) manpage for more

information about ILM.
