RE: [hobbit] HP PA-RISC Hardware monitoring ?

["Deiss, Mark" <Mark.Deiss (at) acs-inc.com>]

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).

The ioscan command can hang for the sort of adverse hardware conditions you
are trying to check for. 

This is commonly known as a "feature". - to be spoken aloud as either Eric
Idle or John Cleese.

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).

Hi, Thomas

But ioscan is jus a scan of existing hardwares, it doesn't tell if each
component
is ok or not. following is an example of a C3600.
