listing disks, devices, etc.

[Ken Hunter]

This has to be among the simplest of questions - but in HPUX 10.20 - I can do a 'ioscan -f' for example, and list all the disks with scsi id's, other devices, etc.
Okay - well how is this done in RedHat Linux 6.2? I have to believe there is a magic command that does this and probably more.

thanks in advance,

Ken :)

HP-UX is, without doubt, the leader in this area - I've never found a decent competitor to "ioscan".
I think you'll find "linuxconf" is your best option which not only allows you to list components in your box, but also allows you to reconfigure them.

HTH,
Mike.

Hi Ken,

If you are only looking for the devices then do
cat /proc/devices, you can look into /proc directory, you would find most of the information there (io,interrupts,modules, etc)
Here is another link which might help you for commands on different *nix's

Hey,

Check dmesg for scsi information or install the cdrecord package and do cdrecord -scanbus and I believe that can give you some addtional information regarding scsi devices.
