ioscan equiv in redhat- list hardware on system

SM_3 — Wed, 25 Oct 2006 12:07:57 GMT

Hello

In HP-UX we have a command #ioscan which tells us what hardware the system can see.

What is the equivalent in redhat?

thanks.

Hi SM,

Linux maintains a database for the detected and configured hardware devices in /etc/sysconfig/hwconf file. So, you can use --

# cat /etc/sysconfig/hwconf | less

Great comments.

A closer match to ioscan can be lspci. Same information as our friends say above, with more ioscan look.

I have seen the rosetta url before and it's not uptodate.

# cat /etc/sysconfig/hwconf | less
is very useful, for instance

Get lshw from http://ezix.org/project/wiki/HardwareLiSter and try this:

# lshw -short

This will look and feel like the HPUX ioscan.

The actual issue is that linux (at the moment) doesn't have the hardware paths other unix flavours come with - but this in the works (see osdl.org/dcl/ for the people pushing it)

You must be aware there's no dependencies like on HP-UX where disabling a pci slot will also disable/suspend the driver instances bound to a device in that slot (i.e. hba and disks).
