Linux server information

Hi,

How to check server information via SSH for example

how to check RAM size & vendor, processor etc...

The dmesg command contains most of that information for you. To see the full output execute: dmesg | more

To check the RAM:

dmesg | grep Memory

To check the CPU:

dmesg | grep CPU0
or
cat /proc/cpuinfo

both command doesn't giving output infect i already tried memory command

Paste what they show you..

[securedserv]

cd /proc;ls -al
you will find all files you need

To check RAM size and usage:

free -m

To check CPU information

cat /proc/cpuinfo

To check the server hardware information, execute

dmidecode

If the package is not installed, install it using the command:

yum install dmidecode

To check the server hardware information, execute



If the package is not installed, install it using the command:

# dmidecode
# dmidecode 2.10
/dev/mem: Permission denied

Are you executing the command as "root" OR you are on a VPS? On a dedicated server, you should execute it as root AND on a VPS, you should ask your hosting provider to execute the command on the main host server.

the memory information can be get through /proc/meminfo and the hardware details like the network cards and devices can be viewed using the command lspci

-bash: /proc/meminfo: Permission denied
[email protected][~]# lspci
pcilib: Cannot open /proc/bus/pci
lspci: Cannot find any working access method.

I ran those command on a VPS server

Well, as said above, you have to execute the command on the host server your VPS is on.

Nilesh, Thoses are files and not commands. you need to open these files and cannot execute them as commands. Use cat or Vi to open the files.

cat /proc/cpuinfo
cat /proc/meminfo
free -m

Your VPS does not have direct access to the hardware, and will likely be unable to return specific information about the hardware in use, such as the information that can typically be obtained from "dmidecode" or "lshw". As mentioned previously in this thread, you would need to contact your host for these details, since they have direct access to the physical server.
