Linux operation and maintenance -- several commonly used commands for viewing system hardware information

Posted by Digwood on Thu, 17 Feb 2022 21:01:43 +0100

Here we recommend a free and convenient mall project: Source code through train > > >

Under Linux, we often need to view the hardware information of the system. Here I list the practical commands for viewing the hardware information of the system, classify them and explain them with examples.

Execution environment: ubuntu 16.04

1. cpu

lscpu command to view the statistics of cpu

root@ubuntu:/home/peng/# lscpu
Architecture:          x86_64            #cpu architecture
CPU op-mode(s):        32-bit, 64-bit
Byte Order:            Little Endian     #Small tail sequence

As can be seen from the above output, there are three PCI buses (No. 0, No. 1, No. 2) on my computer. On a single system, the insertion of multiple buses is completed through a bridge, which is a special PCI peripheral used to connect the bus. Therefore, the overall layout of the PCI system is organized as a tree. We can draw the tree structure of the PCI System on my computer through the lspci output above:

00:00.0((main bridge)--00:01.0(PCI (bridge)-----01:00:0(nVidia Graphics card)
                   |
                   |---00:1d(USB controller)--00:1d:0(USB1 No. 1 controller)
                   |                    |
                   |                    |--00:1d:1(USB2 No. 1 controller)                    |
                   |-00:1e:0(PCI Bridge)--02:00.0(IEEE1394)
                   |                |
                   |                |-02:01.0(8139 Network card)
                   |                |
                   |                |-02:04(CardBus Bridge)-02:04.0(Bridge 1)
                   |                                   |
                   |                                   |--02:04.1(Bridge 2)
                   |
                   |-00:1f(Multifunction board)-00:1f:0(ISA (bridge)
                                        |
                                        |--00:1f:1(IDE Interface)
                                        |
                                        |--00:1f:3(SMBus)
                                        |
                                        |--00:1f:5(Multimedia sound controller)
                                        |
                                        |--00:1f:6(Modem)

As can be seen from the above figure, there are 8 PCI devices on my computer, including 4 on bus 0 (main bridge), 1 on bus 1 and 3 on bus 2. 00:1f is a multi-function board with five functions.

7. lshw view all hardware summary information

The following command can view all hardware summary information and output it into an html file. Export this html file to the computer and open it directly to clearly see the hardware information:

lshw -html > /hardware.html

8. lsscsi view SCSI controller device information

You can see the SCSI information and the information of all virtual disks and optical drives. If there is no hardware SCSI controller, the information will not be returned:

root@ubuntu:/home/peng# lsscsi

[4:0:0:0]    cd/dvd  NECVMWar VMware SATA CD01 1.00  /dev/sr0 

Insert a U SB flash disk and then check:

[4:0:0:0]    cd/dvd  NECVMWar VMware SATA CD01 1.00  /dev/sr0 
[33:0:0:0]   disk    Kingston DataTraveler G2  1.00  /dev/sdb 

You can see that the U SB flash drive is Kingston.
