How to find out the memory part number

Hi,

I am using Hp Proliant DL380 server running in redhat 6 and want to upgrade the memory. Is there any way to find out the current part number of the memory with out physically checking?

Thanks.

You can also try 'lshw', but there is no guarantee that it will be listed or that it will be correct.

You could check the HP Quickspecs using Google but you need to know which Generation of DL380 you have, eg,DL380 G6, Start typing "Quickspecs" and see what turns up.

DL380-G6

You'll get a list of the memory kits and FRU numbers (Field Replaceable Unit numbers. Dependant on how much memory you have in the system, dmidecode will tell you normally plus free DIMM slots, you can decide how you want to upgrade.

Hope that helps!

Play Bonny!
