Rooting around HP-UX 11.23 ia64

Whats in the box

The divil is in the detail:

1. Run machinfo to see installed memory (& hardware model, ...)
   
2. Watch paging use with swapinfo.
3. Run 'ioscan ioscan -funC disk' to see installed disks.
4. Look at logical volumes/groups with vgdisplay -v (the 'Free PE' field is interesting).
   
5. Look at how a physical disk is allocated with pvdisplay /dev/dsk/c2t0d0

And then patching

swa is the HP recommended way of patching up boxes - its a free download from (the download site was broken the first day I tried - worked the next day).
