Scripts/Utilities to Inventory Hardware and Software Components

[limester]

Hi All,

I am looking for a way to inventory the hardware and software components of many Solaris 8 servers/workstations.

For Windows there are many such programs available (like Belarc)

Is there anything similar for the Solaris platform?

Cheers!

A couple of commands that will give you some of the information you are looking for.

prtdiag

iostat -E (I am not sure if this can be run of Solaris 8)

psrinfo -v

format output ( copy and paste into a file )

prtconf -vp has some information that may be helpful

for the OS you can run

more /etc/release

showrev -a to see the patches installed and additional info

format will also show you the disks recognised by the system.

I habitually type format < /dev/null to save me having to answer the prompts, handy for long lists of disks.

pkginfo will list the software packages installed, and pkginfo -l <pkgname> will give you more detailed information about a specific package.

The best tool of them all is cfg2html. Do a simple google search for it and you will find it. Run the script to collect data and it will place it into a nifty html file and a txt file for your viewing pleasure.
