There are a set of tools you can use, that will do most what ioscan does.

One tool you will find on most Redhat is
# sysreport

this is in fact use to gather as much information as posible to send to redhat so they can help you with "Probems", This will gather HW and SW information create a report for diagnotic purpose only and send this via mail to Redhat but you can run this and not send the mail (It will ask you to send the mail manualy)! I use this one in a while to save elsewhere in case of disaster so I now exactly what I had ! (The whole report is in a tar.bz2 file in /tmp)

there are also is also a lot of informations to be found by reading the file in the /proc directory like
#cat /proc/cupinfo

hope this help you along.

There is no direct equivalent, but...

/var/log/dmesg - upon booting the Linux kernel generates messages cataloging detected hardware.

The /proc filesystem contains pseudo-files which provide detailed hardware information. For example /proc/cpuinfo, proc/meminfo, etc.

The kudzu utility maintains a DB of detected and configured hardware, found at /etc/sysconfig/hwconf. As part of the boot process, kudzu compares the currently detected hardware to the stored DB. This comparison can be forced by calling the kudzu command directly. If new hardware is detected, or previousely existing hardware is removed, kudzu will attempt to automatically reconfigure the system, or steer the administrator to the appropriate interactive configuration utility.
Try this:
cat /etc/sysconfig/hwconf

hwbrowser provides a GUI that shows most of the detected hardware.

Tools not in RedHat Linux by default:
scsiadd & the new lshw
They are in Debian Linux

ioscan is HP-UX only and it won't port.

Check out lshw at http://ezix.sourceforge.net/software/lshw.html

This will look and feel like ioscan..

use the command as lshw -short...

I found this through another thread on this forum but forgot which message..

Rick Garland — Mon, 20 Sep 2004 10:42:44 GMT

There is the lshw command. This will go through the /proc filesystem and glean the info that will provide output you may be looking for.

Other option is the cfg2html script. There is a Linux version of this script available.

If you are trying to add some more disk's or lun's try fdisk -l

If the lun are correctly present they will show in the output of fdisk -l .
