Display All Installed Hardware On UNIX Computer

If we want to display all hardware inside the computer with Linux installed, then we can use command hwinfo. In Ubuntu Linux we can install hwinfo package using the following command :

tedy@tedy-laptop:~$ sudo apt-get install hwinfo 
Reading package lists... Done 
Building dependency tree

The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required: 
  bwidget tablelist 
Use 'apt-get autoremove' to remove them. 
The following extra packages will be installed: 
  libhd14 
The following NEW packages will be installed: 
  hwinfo libhd14 
0 upgraded, 2 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.

After this operation, 1978kB of additional disk space will be used.

And we can easily get the list of all hardware using hwinfo command. Sometimes we only need the sumarry of the hardware so we can put the option like this :

tedy@tedy-laptop:~$ hwinfo --short

By default, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.1 DVD doesn’t contain lshw package. To retrieve that package, we suppose to update our repositories using online repositories.

[root@pwsupport-ftpserver tedy]# rpm -Uhv http://apt.sw.be/redhat/el5/en/i386/rpmforge/RPMS/rpmforge-release-0.3.6-1.el5.rf.i386.rpm
[root@pwsupport-ftpserver tedy]# yum install lshw

If we want to display all hardware inside the computer with Solaris installed, we have some option and the easiest use command prtdiag like the example below :

root@test-box02# prtdiag -v
