dmidecode的输出格式一般如下:
----------------------------------------
Handle 0x0002
DMI type 2, 8 bytes
Base Board Information
Manufacturer:Intel
Product Name:
C440GX+
Version:
727281-0001
Serial
Number: INCY92700942
----------------------------------------
其中的前三行都称为记录头(recoce Header), 其中包括了:
1、recode id(handle):
DMI表中的记录标识符,这是唯一的,比如上例中的Handle 0x0002。
2、dmi type id:
记录的类型,譬如说:BIOS,Memory,上例是type 2,即"Base Board Information"
3、recode size:
DMI表中对应记录的大小,上例为8 bytes.(不包括文本信息,所有实际输出的内容比这个size要更大。)
记录头之后就是记录的值:
4、decoded values:
记录值可以是多行的,比如上例显示了主板的制造商(manufacturer)、model、version以及serial
Number。
dmidecode的使用方法
1. 最简单的的显示全部dmi信息:
# dmidecode
这样将输出所有的dmi信息,你可能会被一大堆的信息吓坏,通常可以使用下面的方法。
2.更精简的信息显示:
# dmidecode -q
-q(--quite) 只显示必要的信息,这个很管用哦。
3.显示指定类型的信息:
通常我只想查看某类型,比如CPU,内存或者磁盘的信息而不是全部的。这可以使用-t(--type
TYPE)来指定信息类型:
# dmidecode -t bios
# dmidecode -t bios, processor
(这种方式好像不可以用,必须用下面的数字的方式)
# dmidecode -t 0,4
(显示bios和processor)
dmidecode到底支持哪些type?
这些可以在man dmidecode里面看到:
文本参数支持:
bios, system, baseboard,
chassis, processor, memory, cache, connector, slot
数字参数支持很多:(见附录)
4.通过关键字查看信息:
比如只想查看序列号,可以使用:
# dmidecode -s system-serial-number
-s (--string keyword)支持的keyword包括:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
bios-vendor,bios-version,
bios-release-date,
system-manufacturer,
system-product-name, system-version, system-serial-number,
baseboard-manu-facturer,baseboard-product-name,
baseboard-version, baseboard-serial-number,
baseboard-asset-tag,
chassis-manufacturer,
chas-sis-version, chassis-serial-number, chassis-asset-tag,
processor-manufacturer,
processor-version.

5.示例
5.1 查看当前内存和支持的最大内存
Linux下,可以使用free或者查看meminfo来获得当前的物理内存:
# free
total
used
free
shared
buffers
cached
Mem:
8182532
8010792
171740
0
148472
4737896
-/+
buffers/cache:
3124424
5058108
Swap:
4192956
3304
4189652
# grep MemTotal /proc/meminfo
MemTotal:
8182532 kB
这里显示了当前服务器的物理内存是8GB。
服务器到底能扩展到多大的内存?
#dmidecode -t 16
# dmidecode 2.7
SMBIOS 2.4 present.
Handle 0x0013, DMI type 16, 15 bytes.

但是,事实不一定如此,因此插槽可能已经插满了。也就是我们还必须查清这里的8G到底是4*2GB,
2*4GB还是其他?
如果是4*2GB,那么尽管可以扩展到64GB,但是插槽已经插满,无法扩展了:
#dmidecode -t 17
# dmidecode 2.7
SMBIOS 2.4 present.

根据上面输出可以发现,如果要扩展,只有将上面的内存条换成16GB的,才能达到4*16GB=64GB的最大支持内存。
