Running Hardware diagnostics in RHEL3

shads2k5 · 10-26-2008, 03:59 AM

Hi folks,

Can any one suggest on running hardware diagnostics on Redhat AS 3, do we have to use any third party tool for this ?

How long this will take ?
Do we need the server to be rebooted ?

Thanks in advance ....

Hi,

okss so you mean we have to go into rescue mode ? which means its a disruptive one rt ? is there any other way of doing a diag

You can check with

hdparm, smartctl for hdd
testdisk

lspci -vvv
lshw for info

memtest will be difficult to use in a running system

See the manuals

You can check bios etc too, but what exactly do you want to check?
