Re: To Determine System Configuration - (No of CPUs, their speed, RAM, No of Hard disks, their capacity).

Hi,

One a linux server (RHEL AS 2), fdisk -l command does not tell the size of
hard disk. Is there a way out. Please help.

[root@bangpcrh212 root]# more /etc/redhat-release
Red Hat Linux Advanced Server release 2.1AS (Pensacola) Update 5
[root@bangpcrh212 root]# fdisk -l

Disk /dev/sda: 255 heads, 63 sectors, 8924 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 bytes

Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sda1 * 1 127 1020096 83 Linux
/dev/sda2 128 637 4096575 83 Linux
/dev/sda3 638 1019 3068415 83 Linux

We have a lot of RedHat Linux servers in our lab. I have been

some commands that would give the following information:
1. Type and No of CPU's, also their speed,
2. Amount of RAM.
3. No of Hard disk and their size.

I would start with lshw from either Dag's archive or from the author's
site at http://www.ezix.org/software/lshw.html. You can generate the
output in text, xml, or html. For an html sample, I threw up the output
from my desktop at http://www.ewilts.org/lshw.html

You may also want to look at the alist project at
http://www.brains2bytes.com/alist/. It's getting a little old but it's
open source and cross-platform so you could update it if required. It
will give you not only the hardware configuration but also some basic
software configurations including patch lists. It's designed to be more
of a client-server application that allows it to keep itself up to date..

And dconf is something you might want to look at if the purpose is to
track changes (within a team) over time or to compare system (software and
hardware) configurations.

Of course, you still need to know what command-output provides you with
this information. Those would be: dmidecode and fdisk -l

Kind regards,
