24 Feb 15 Server backplane layout for rx class servers
HP-UX hardware is a bit Byzantine in nature. The following script demystifies things a bit and allows us to work at remote data centers with accuracy on cable issues both fiber and copper.
If you want to use this script, use the contact form to reach out to me. Most people will find cutting and pasting from the website very frustrating.
I am also reaching out to the community, dare I say fan base for assistance. I am fairly certain that the fiber side accurately reports status of hba connections. I am fairly certain that the copper side needs to be improved.
This is tested on rx7640 and rx8640 systems. I am fairly confident that it will work on superdomes. I just do not happen to have any around to test on.
Script includes an environment plugin called .scriptenv . I will provide relevant code from it as some of what it does is customer specific and can not be released into the wild. If functionality is needed everywhere, I try to provide it via a centrally managed file. I provide functionality to both command prompts and scripting this way. It allows me to make the scripts generic and change one file with environment customizations.
Script is based on olrad -q output. It uses several deprecated utilities such as lanadmin and lanscan. Since I currently doubt HP-UX v4 is in the works, this should not be a problem.
The output then the script:
IP addresses and mac addresses have been changed to protect the innocent:
