Hardware/model name, like /usr/bin/model on HP-UX (points!)

Christian Deutsch_1 — Tue, 19 May 2009 08:11:43 GMT

Hi folks,

Just wondering if there is a possibility on Linux (specifically RedHat) that would give me something in some way comparable to the output of /usr/bin/model on HP-UX?

The first 4 truly helpful answers will be generously rewarded with points!

Thanks, Christian

Run "dmidecode | less". The amount and usefulness of the information depends on the server manufacturer, but HP products generally display good information.

Note: the dmidecode command is included in the distribution, but may be an optional package. If it's missing from your server, install it.

Thanks Matti, very useful!

Thanks Sajjad, also useful but this method would mean I have to install a package on the system in question. For me, Matti's solution is good enough.

Kind regards, Christian
