How to gain information of server
| Posted by SerayaHost, 02-18-2012, 09:45 PM |
| Hello,
As of my subject, what kind of command can you use to gain any information of your server? Hard Disk, RAID Controller, Memory Type (ECC), etc...
I mean for example the simplest one
to gain the processor information
================
#cat /proc/cpuinfo
================
To gain memory information
================
#free
================
I'm asking this, just want to check for example we rent a dedi server and want to check whether the server is setup as we have ordered.
Any others command can we use?
Thanks...

| Does it not have a control panel of sorts? .. you could always just type in "top" and get a running list of processing mem and etc

| You could check if there is any hardware raid controller with 'lspci'
If there`s no controller, then you could directly check the hard drive(s) model/serial number with 'smartctl -i /dev/sdX'
Finally you can check your motherboard with 'dmidecode --type 2,10'

| Oh I didn't realize you asked for "type" of hardware. Sorry =)

And, is there available, how to check the RAM type (ddr2 ddr3 and clock speed)?

| Software raid:
Check the hard drive SMART status: smartctl -a /dev/sdX
Check the raid status: cat /proc/mdstat

About your memory, try this one: dmidecode --type 17
