Utilities/Scipts to Inventory Hardware and Software
Hi All,

I am looking for a way to inventory the hardware and software components of many Solaris 8 servers/workstations. I would like to script this to run against a list of IP's in a text file.

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

Is there anything similar for the Solaris platform?

Cheers!

Im not sure if there is anything only thing i can think of is srsnetconnect that you can get from sun, but pretty sure you have to pay for that.. Only other option would be to create something yourself!

all you would really need in the script that can login to all the hosts and get the following info..


/usr/platform/sun4u/sbin/prtdiag -v # to print the hardware info
/usr/bin/pkginfo -l # print pkg info
/usr/bin/showrev -p # show patches installed

Assuming thats all your looking for !?

You should try cfg2html. It does generate very complete report about hardware and software on UNIX machine. I think you may have to run that on each machine separately, you'll have to pick up the report after that.

See : http://come.to/cfg2html

Nice thing about it : IT IS FREE!

Hope it helps.

Thanks for your replies.

You have certainly given me some options to work with and I appreciate your input as I am relatively new to the UNIX OS.

Do you know if there is also a way to obtain the Serial Number of the monitors connected to the system?

In Windows you could query the drivers via WMI to obtain onboard and connected peripheral serial numbers, not sure if UNIX has this ability.

Cheers!
