So through my day to day system work there has come times where I need to review the major pieces of system hardware, and to do this I needed to run a handful of commands. As you can see this can be very repetitive and as we all know in the IT world anything that is done more than once will and should become automated.
To automate this process I created a simple BASH script which will check OS release, Memory (how many modules you have installed and size) along with CPU sockets and cores, also if you have open managed installed (omreport) it can also get RAID details.
To run this very simple script it made it very easy to access, using a single line on the command line (seen below) you can easily review the system. (depending on permission you may need root access for DMIDECODE)
curl http://flip-edesign.com/scripts/system_info | bash
The Output from this command will look similar to below
