Hi,
Is there any command that is similiar to ioscan on hpux, that is available on linux. either redhat or Suse?
ioscan on hpux provides a listing of hardware that is installed on the system.

Thanks in advance
Andrew

No direct twin on Linux.

Here is a thread that shows how to get the same information with multiple commands.

Pretty common question since ioscan is a great tool.

There is no ioscan in Linux. There is a tool, available for free download, called lshw. This tool goes through and parses the /proc filesystem to get the info you seek.

Also available is the cfg2html tool for Linux. This is a wonderful tool as well.

Essentially, these tools parse through the /proc filesystem to find the info.

hi,

i only know lspci it lists your pci devices.
the other way is to look at /proc there are many files with information about your hardware.
hope it helps!

best regards

Used the links above.
I hope that someone will port ioscan to linux in the near future! I would put a contribution towards the developers time!! As it would save me lots of time!!

Thanks for your help
