我使用过的Linux命令之dmidecode - 查看硬件信息

本文链接：http://codingstandards.iteye.com/blog/788984    （转载请注明出处）

用途说明

dmidecode命令用来查看硬件信息。第一次看到这个命令，是在IBM的网站上看到的《“懒惰” Linux 管理员的 10 个关键技巧 》的技巧10 - 随机信息收集。在此之前，我们清查机器的硬件信息时，都需要跑到机房才行，而这个机房并不在我们这个城市。DMI ，即Desktop Management Interface。也有被称为SMBIOS，即System Management BIOS。

常用参数

较低版本的dmidecode命令不支持参数，因此要看信息的话，要用more/less/grep来配合才能更好些。

较高版本的dmidecode命令有如下参数：

-h 查看帮助信息。

-q  不显示未知设备。

-t type   查看指定类型的信息，比如bios,system,memory,processor等。

-s keyword   查看指定的关键字的信息，比如system-manufacturer, system-product-name, system-version, system-serial-number等。

使用示例

示例一 不是每台Linux服务器都能看到硬件信息

[root@web186 root]# dmidecode
# dmidecode 2.2
[root@web186 root]# man dmidecode
man: 没有那个文件或目录
Failed to open the message catalog man on the path NLSPATH=<none>

No manual entry for dmidecode
[root@web186 root]# lsb_release -a
LSB Version:    1.3
Distributor ID: RedHatEnterpriseAS
Description:    Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS release 3 (Taroon Update 4)
Release:        3
Codename:       TaroonUpdate4
[root@web186 root]#

这台机器是台工控机，安装的是RHEL3.4。

示例二 非root用户无法获取硬件信息

[web@hnweb1 ~]$ dmidecode
-bash: dmidecode: command not found
[web@hnweb1 ~]$ whereis dmidecode
dmidecode: /usr/sbin/dmidecode
[web@hnweb1 ~]$ /usr/sbin/dmidecode
/dev/mem: Permission denied
[web@hnweb1 ~]$

[root@sunrise root]# dmidecode -t processor
-t: No such file or directory

较低版本的dmidecode不支持-t参数。
[root@sunrise root]# dmidecode -h
-h: No such file or directory

较低版本的dmidecode无法查看帮助信息。
[root@sunrise root]# dmidecode | grep CPU

只能通过grep之类的方式去查询了。
[root@sunrise root]# dmidecode -q
-q: No such file or directory

较低版本的dmidecode不支持-q参数。
[root@sunrise root]#

 

示例四 一台工控机上较新版本的dmidecode可支持参数查询

[root@web ~]# dmidecode -h
Usage: dmidecode [OPTIONS]
Options are:
 -d, --dev-mem FILE     Read memory from device FILE (default: /dev/mem)
 -h, --help             Display this help text and exit
 -q, --quiet            Less verbose output
 -s, --string KEYWORD   Only display the value of the given DMI string
 -t, --type TYPE        Only display the entries of given type
 -u, --dump             Do not decode the entries
     --dump-bin FILE    Dump the DMI data to a binary file
     --from-dump FILE   Read the DMI data from a binary file
 -V, --version          Display the version and exit

不仅可以通过-h参数看到帮助信息，而且man dmidecode也可以看到手册页。
