Hi all;


I am wondering if there is any way to tell the part numbers of the
memory modules I have in a 280R running Solaris 2.8 without opening the

case? 

yes. memconf

http://myweb.cableone.net/4schmidts/memconf.html

is what you need.



sparrow /export/home/drkirkby % ./memconf

empty sockets: None
total memory = 4096MB (4GB)
WARNING: Layout of memory sockets not completely recognized on this system.
The memory configuration displayed should be correct though since this
is a fully stuffed system.
This is a known bug due to Sun's 'prtconf', 'prtdiag' and 'prtfru'
commands not providing enough detail for the memory layout of this
SunOS 5.10 SUNW,Ultra-80 system to be determined.
This is not a bug in memconf, rather it is a bug in Sun's OBP.
The latest release (OBP 3.33.0 2003/10/07) still has this bug.
This system is using OBP 3.31.0 2001/07/25 20:35
