Hi CentOS users

I have here old CentOS 2.1 server on IBM Xseries 336. How to see serial number and machine type?

It seems that "dmidecode" is not available for CentOS 2.1

You might be able to run dmidecode from CentOS 3

I can run dmidecode taken from the CentOS3 kernel-utils RPM on an old Redhat 7.2 box, so it might work on a CentOS 2.1 box.

You can download the RPM from:

http://isoredirect.centos.org/centos/3/os/i386/RedHat/RPMS/kernel-utils-2.4-8.37.15.i386.rpm

rpm -qf /usr/sbin/dmidecode kernel-utils-2.4-6.1.EL

CentOS 2 is not dead yet.

dmidecode does exist and should work fine.

John.
