hardware¶
Hardware detection and classification utilities
Homepage: https://github.com/redhat-cip/hardware
Features¶
detect hardware features of a Linux systems:
RAID
hard drives
IPMI
network cards
DMI infos
memory settings
processor features
filter hardware according to hardware profiles
Runtime dependencies¶
The hardware detection is divided in modules that detects a specific hardware type. Each module have its own dependencies.
Therefore, we cannot enforce installing all the dependencies as some are not relevant regarding a particular hardware type. To avoid a situation where we cannot use/install hardware because of one of those deps, we do prefer let users installing the one they need.
The hardware detection code will ignore all the missing deps and continue, so not installing a deps is not fatal.
Please find bellow the list of dependencies per module:
Areca¶
Logical disks¶
hdparm
smartmontools
Networking¶
ethtool
lldp from http://open-lldp.org/
ibstat if you have infiniband devices from https://www.openfabrics.org/
System¶
