Obtaining system hardware information? (audit)

» close window

The Question is:

 
I trying to remotely (via modem) run a full audit on a Compaq AlphaServer DS20E
 to find details about Memory, CPU, O/S, RAM etc.
Is/are there some commands that will enable me to do this?
 
Thanks in advance
 
Ben
 

The Answer is :

 
  Commands that are probably relevent here -- without details of what
  is meant by "full audit", specifics are difficult -- would include:
 
    $ SHOW MEMORY [/FULL]
    $ SHOW CPU
    $ SHOW DEVICE [/FULL]
    $ SHOW SYSTEM
    $ SHOW LICENSE [/UNITS]
 
  For information on installed products:
 
    $ PRODUCT SHOW PRODUCT
    $ TYPE SYS$UPDATE:VMSINSTAL.HISTORY
 
  For details on OpenVMS, please see the OpenVMS User's Guide and the
  OpenVMS System Management documentation.  Both are available on-line.
 
  Information on the specific parts installed and their serial numbers
  are generally available only via a physical audit.  The system serial
  number is available via a sticker on the physical system, and the
  value is also sometimes available via commands such as SHOW CPU.
  (The system serial number value displayed by SHOW CPU can potentially
  have been altered on the local system, or may not have ever been set.)
