| Resolution | Required Tools SSH client
Overview of Steps Use these steps to determine the manufacturer, model and serial number of an RSA NetWitness or RSA Security Analytics appliance running CentOS 5.x of CentOS 6.x. 1. Open an ssh session to your appliance. 2. Logon as root. 3. Use the dmidecode command to query the system for the required information.
Detailed Steps 1. Open an ssh session to your appliance. 2. Logon as root. 3. Run either of the following dmidecode commands from the system prompt: root@SA-Server-01 ~]# dmidecode --type system {enter} root@SA-Server-01 ~]# dmidecode -t system {enter} 4. Review the output for the required information. See the examples below.
Sample output from a Dell R510 , R610 and R620 appliance should like like the following:
# dmidecode 2.11 Handle 0x0100, DMI type 1, 27 bytes Handle 0x0C00, DMI type 12, 5 bytes Handle 0x2000, DMI type 32, 11 bytes Sample output from a Supermicro appliance should like like the following: # dmidecode 2.11 SMBIOS 2.6 present. Handle 0x0001, DMI type 1, 27 bytes
