<P><FONT SIZE=2>If you elect to use ioscan for checking for claimed hardware (using the -f option), then recommend you put in a chunk of timeout logic and send an appropriate error message if a timeout condition occurs. The HPUX ioscan command is not terribly robust (as we discovered after implementing a BB module using it).</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>The ioscan command can hang for the sort of adverse hardware conditions you are trying to check for. </FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>This is commonly known as a "feature". - to be spoken aloud as either Eric Idle or John Cleese.</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>To T. Yang: I never bothered putting together a tarball for www.deadcat.net; lack of energy to write up a usage document. It supports table and group files for defining classes of hardware components to be checked for (number of HBAs, tape drives, etc). If you want a tarball to play with or use as a starting point for development, let me know. The module does not have a timeout control - knocking down a hung ioscan is problematic. Will not post tarball here as Mr. Storner would probably hunt me down and toss a holy hand grenade and/or taunt me mercilessly. (What can I say, it's a Monty Python kind of day).</FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>Hi, Thomas</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>But ioscan is jus a scan of existing hardwares, it doesn't tell if each component</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>is ok or not. following is an example of a C3600.</FONT>

<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> Hi !</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>></FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> the magical command on HP-UX (PA-RISC) is 'ioscan' on HP-UX (IA64) it's</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> 'machinfo'. For example, if you want information on processors or fc</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> hba, you could make :</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>></FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> # ioscan -fknC processor | grep -i processor</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> # ioscan -fknC fc | grep -i fc</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>></FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> or simply :</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>></FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> # ioscan -fknC</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>></FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> to see all possibilities. Hobbit runs just fine on this kind of</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> hardware, I've tested it for months on HP-UX 10.20, 11.00, 11i. You just</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> need 'gcc' and GNU 'make' to build clients and that's all.</FONT>
