I don't have a problem with $MACHINE being set but I do set other variables to get the list of ext's working in client/etc/hobbitclient.cfg. Here is my list, maybe it will be of some help to you or others:

#from prtdiag script

UNAME="/sbin/uname" #PLATFORM_SPEC=${UNAME} -i #PRTDIAG_COMMAND="/usr/platform/${PLATFORM_SPEC}/sbin/prtdiag"

can't seem to use `` to set variables in hobbitclient.cfg so set

these

in the script itself.

PRTDIAG_OPT="-v" ZONENAME=/usr/bin/zonename #Systems that don't support temperature checks EXCLUDE_SYSTEMS="Ultra-1 Ultra-2 Ultra-5_10 Ultra-30 Ultra-60 Ultra-80 UltraAX-i2 UltraSPARC-IIi-cEngine Sun-Fire Netra-T4 UltraAX-e2 Ultra-Enterprise-10000" PRTDIAG_IGNORE_ERRORS="No failures|Most recent AC Power Failure|Minimum Available|CS Fail|No Hardware failures|^===|currently no Boards|Fault Fan" PRTDIAG_IGNORE_FAULTS="No Recent System Faults found|No System Faults found|Fault Value|Fault LED|NO_FAULT|Power Fault|Status Fault|Fault off" LOM_COMMAND="/usr/sbin/lom" LOM_OPT="-pfvt"

from meta script

MDBIN="/usr/sbin" METADB=${MDBIN}/metadb METAHS=${MDBIN}/metahs METASTAT=${MDBIN}/metastat METASET=${MDBIN}/metaset

for bb-cpu2

SWAP="/usr/sbin/swap" PSRINFO="/usr/sbin/psrinfo" MPSTAT="/usr/bin/mpstat"

for bb-msgs.sh

BBMSGSTAB="${BBHOME}/etc/bb-msgstab" # Directory for the Hobbit client files

for bb-vxcheck.sh

VXDISK_LIST="/var/BB/bb/sbin/vxdisk list" VXDISK_CHECK="/var/BB/bb/sbin/vxdisk check" VXDG_LIST="/var/BB/bb/sbin/vxdg list" VXIOD="/var/BB/bb/sbin/vxiod"

Many scripts also use some of the pre-defined variables in the file, make sure they are defined with the correct path for your systems. Butch

Hi All

I just started using bb-cpu2[1] on ~hobbit/client/ext of version 4.1.2. I am noticing it $MACHINE has no value inside the script while I run a test like this ./bin/bbcmd sh -x ~hobbit/client/ext/bb-cpu2.sh

Here is a google cache of the bb-cpu2 on deadcat.net since the site seems kind a slow now.

http://66.102.7.104/search?q=cache:6p53UoHzUEcJ:www.deadcat.net/BB/e

xt/cpu2+cpu+site:deadcat.net&hl=en

I checked all the emails upto Oct 5th and don't think saw a good answer to this problem.

I hate to declare the value of MACHINE inside the script. Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
