For CPU:
cat /proc/cpuinfo

For OS and kernel version:

Hello,

I use
-cfg2html ( http://www.cfg2html.com/ )
-hponcfg ( package hponcfg-1.2.0-4 from Proliant Support Pack (search HP site !) )

cfg2html is free, I don't know about PSP.

Hi Praveen!

If you are looking for in more hardware information and monitoring tool, I would advice you to consider SIM ( system insight manager ).

Very very good tool, I would take my time to learn about it and have it running in my enviroment:

For serial number please have a look in hardware specific logs, Compaq Insight Base System Agent's log. like compaq/survey/surveyBASE-LINE-Mon-May-12-2003.txt for HP Pro leant server, will provide you all server related information.

See the following thread for more information related with server serial number.

Hi Praveen,
for information about IPs of NIC's and more it is : ifconfig -a

For CPU information(it takes information from RAM, not from ur hard disk):
cat /proc/cpuinfo

To know about OS and kernel version:
uname -a

other source
lspci

Hope this will help you to find out the details.
Bye,
Have a nice day
