On either SR9.7 (boo, hiss) or SR10.* (the good stuff), simply type /com/netstat -c in any shell, and you'll get something like The net_ID.node_ID of this node is 29C03.1943B. **** Node 1943B **** //watson Time 1990/01/12.09:11:59 Up since 1990/01/05.15:02:04 Net I/O: total= 4448754 rcvs = 3921313 xmits = 527441 Ctlr_# = 0 Unit_# = 0 Winchester I/O: total= 1603470 reads= 734087 writes= 869383 Last ring hardware failure detected by node 44C0 on 1990/01/12 at 09:00 Node was not receiving clock signals. System configured with 16.0 mb of memory. NODE CONFIGURATION Node Type: DN3500 Display type: 1280 x 1024 monochrome display 68882 Floating Point Unit present. Peripheral configuration: Disks: winchester Networks: Ring Peripheral bus: AT-bus Tapes: 1/4" cartridge tape Disk types: MSD-380M-FA As you can see, all the configuration info you are looking for is here. If you are running SR10.* and do not have the Aegis environment installed, the command to run to get the same information is /usr/apollo/bin/nodestat -c It is just the /com/netstat command renamed so that it won't clash names with the /usr/ucb/netstat command.
