Obtaining Hardware Specifications from a Solaris server
Posted by superuser
Here you can find is a list of useful unix-shell commands in order to obtain all the required hardware specifications from your Solaris machine. They should work for all platforms (SPARC, UltraSparc, i386, amd64, ... ) although have been tested only on *SPARCs. I use them often, so exposing them here is a way to remember them. Please check the example's output to see what kind of indormations are included in any case.
The most common command but with poor output:
$ uname -a
SunOS myhost.lan 5.9 Generic_118118-05 sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Fire-V210
Hard Disk Specifications:
$ iostat -EAn alternative is the

$ formatcommand which provides hard disk infos but root permissions are requested.
A good command with complete peripherals references:
$ prtconf

I left the best for the end. This is a powerful scanning of your hardware system. Covers nearly everything. CPU, Processors, Memory, pci, Fan speed, temperature sensors, voltage sensors, led state, ...

Really useful commands, indeed. Let me add some more that I've been using from time to time:
- vmstat: report virtual memory statistics
- mpstat: report per-processor or per-processor-set statistics
- modinfo: display information about loaded kernel modules
- isainfo: describe instruction set architectures
I guess you can find out about all the Solaris sysadmin commands on http://www.sun.com/bigadmin/shellme/
thank you pano. Great commands, and this link is really useful!
