Hi,

I am running Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS release 3 and have oracle located on the disk I need to replace which is backed up.

What I want to know is how do I view my disks in Red Hat do I see this eqaul to ioscan -fnC disk or diskinfo ?

Regards,
Pat

No, to list the disks you can use fdisk -l. You should also verify if you use LVM, if so, use pvdisplay, vgdisplay and lvdisplay to identify your configuration.

There is a program called "lshw" that extracts detailed information on the hardware configuration and does almost exactly what ioscan is doing.

You can download pre-compiled RPM for RHEL3 from:
