osinfo-query - Query information in the database SYNOPSIS
osinfo-query [OPTIONS...] TYPE [CONDITION-1 [CONDITION-2 ...]] DESCRIPTION
The "osinfo-query" command allows extraction of information from the database. TYPE can be one of "os", "platform", "device", or "deployment". With no conditions specified, all entities of the given type will be listed. # List all operating systems $ osinfo-query os Short ID | Name ... ----------------------+----------- centos-6.0 | CentOS 6.0 ... centos-6.1 | CentOS 6.1 ... ... Conditions allow filtering based on specific properties of an entity. For example, to filter only distros from the Fedora Project, use # List all operating systems $ osinfo-query os vendor="Fedora Project" Short ID | Name ... ----------------------+-------------- fedora1 | Fedora Core 1 ... fedora2 | Fedora Core 2 ... ... The set of fields which are printed can be controlled using the "--fields" command line argument: # List all operating systems $ osinfo-query --fields=short-id,version os vendor="Fedora Project" Short ID | Version ----------------------+---------- fedora1 | 1 fedora2 | 2 ... OPTIONS
-s PROPERTY, --sort-key PROPERTY Set the data sorting key. Defaults sorting the first column -f PROPERTY1,PROPERTY2,..., --fields PROPERTY1,PROPERTY2,... Set the visibility of properties in output PROPERTY NAMES
OS Valid property names for the "os" type are: short-id The short OS identifier name The long OS name version The OS version string family The OS kernel family vendor The OS vendor release-date The OS release date eol-date The OS end-of-life date codename The OS code name id The OS identifier PLATFORM Valid property names for the "platform" type are: short-id The short platform identifier name The long platform name version The platform version string vendor The platform vendor release-date The platform release date eol-date The platform end-of-life date codename The platform code name id The platform identifier DEVICE Valid property names for the "device" type are: name The device name product The device product name product-id The device product ID string vendor The device vendor name vendor-id The device vendor ID string class The device type class bus The device bus type id The device identifier DEPLOYMENT Valid property names for the "deployment" type are: id The deployment identifier EXIT STATUS
The exit status will be 0 if matching entries were found, or 1 if not matches were found SEE ALSO

SCSI_ID(8) Linux Administrator's Manual SCSI_ID(8) NAME
scsi_id - retrieve and generate a unique SCSI identifier SYNOPSIS
scsi_id [options] DESCRIPTION
scsi_id queries a SCSI device via the SCSI INQUIRY vital product data (VPD) page 0x80 or 0x83 and uses the resulting data to generate a value that is unique across all SCSI devices that properly support page 0x80 or page 0x83. If a result is generated it is sent to standard output, and the program exits with a zero value. If no identifier is output, the program exits with a non-zero value. scsi_id is primarily for use by other utilities such as udev that require a unique SCSI identifier. By default all devices are assumed black listed, the --whitelisted option must be specified on the command line or in the config file for any useful behaviour. SCSI commands are sent directly to the device via the SG_IO ioctl interface. In order to generate unique values for either page 0x80 or page 0x83, the serial numbers or world wide names are prefixed as follows. Identifiers based on page 0x80 are prefixed by the character 'S', the SCSI vendor, the SCSI product (model) and then the the serial number returned by page 0x80. For example: # /lib/udev/scsi_id --page=0x80 --whitelisted --device=/dev/sda SIBM 3542 1T05078453 Identifiers based on page 0x83 are prefixed by the identifier type followed by the page 0x83 identifier. For example, a device with a NAA (Name Address Authority) type of 3 (also in this case the page 0x83 identifier starts with the NAA value of 6): # /lib/udev/scsi_id --page=0x83 --whitelisted --device=/dev/sda 3600a0b80000b174b000000d63efc5c8c OPTIONS
--blacklisted The default behaviour - treat the device as black listed, and do nothing unless a white listed device is found in the scsi_id con- fig-file. --device=device Send SG_IO commands to device, such as /dev/sdc. --config=config-file Read configuration and black/white list entries from config-file rather than the default /etc/scsi_id.config file. --whitelisted Treat the device as white listed. The --whitelisted option must be specified on the command line or in the scsi_id configuration file for scsi_id to generate any output. --page=0x80|0x83|pre-spc3-83 Use SCSI INQUIRY VPD page code 0x80, 0x83, or pre-spc3-83. The default behaviour is to query the available VPD pages, and use page 0x83 if found, else page 0x80 if found, else nothing. Page pre-spc3-83 should only be utilized for those scsi devices which are not compliant with the SPC-2 or SPC-3 format for page 83. While this option is used for older model 4, 5, and 6 EMC Symmetrix devices, its use with SPC-2 or SPC-3 compliant devices will fallback to the page 83 format supported by these devices. --replace-whitespace Reformat the output : replace all whitespaces by underscores. --export Export all data in KEY=<value> format used to import in other programs. --verbose Generate verbose debugging output. --version Display version number and exit.
