Hi,

Thanks to Dominic Christopher, Pat O'Brien, Vincent Kiely and Thomas
Blinn.
Various suggestions came in regarding looking at the system start up logs
etc.

dia -R -o full | more (requires DECEvent)
/var/adm/messages
uerf -R | more

However it would appear that Dr Blinn's advise is most relevant:

 On SOME platforms, the information you seek MIGHT be printed in the
 console log at boot time (look in /var/adm/messages) or it MIGHT be
 recorded in a FRU packet in the binary error log (you'd need to use
 a tool like "ca" aka Compaq Analyze to read the information and get
 a text report).

It would appear that our ES40 - model 1 doesn't actually record the bank
configuration, so it looks like its going to have to be a reboot at some
stage to find out for certain.

Cheers,

Rob

Subject: Physical Memory Configuration

Hi managers,

We need to upgrade our ES40 with more memory.
Is it possible to ascertain the physical memory configuration of the
machine without shutting the machine down to SRM and doing a show memory
?

There is 4GB installed, and I've got a feeling that all 16 slots are
already occupied, but I can't seem to find any way of telling me whether
that is the case without stopping the operating system (Tru64 4.0F),
which isn't particularly practical at the moment.

Thanks,

Rob Leadbeater
