Hi Mee Wee,

The BES License and Inventory site contains an analysis “Hardware Information (Linux)” that might have some good hardware properties for you…

For the dmi properties, here are some you might try based on my quick research (although I don’t have a Linux system readily available and I have no idea if these will give you want you want):

manufacturer of base_board_information of dmi
product of base_board_information of dmi
manufacturer of system_enclosure_or_chassis of dmi
oem_defined of system_enclosure_or_chassis of dmi
manufacturer of system_information of dmi
product_name of system_information of dmi

Hope one of those help… (let us know if one of them does work because I am sure someone else is interested…)

Hi Ben

Thanks alot for your prompt relay. And it is exactly what i am looking for.

Some of it works and some not.

Please see below that works.

manufacturer of system_enclosure_or_chassis of dmi ( returned HP )

oem_defined of system_enclosure_or_chassis of dmi ( returned value 0 )

manufacturer of system_information of dmi ( returned HP )

product_name of system_information of dmi ( returned ProLiant DL360 G5 )

NOT works

manufacturer of base_board_information of dmi ( returned Singular expression refers to nonexistent object )

product of base_board_information of dmi ( returned Singular expression refers to nonexistent object )

Thanks again
