Description
On Solaris 10 x86 systems, there is the command smbios, which will display the same information that dmidecode does for Linux and *BSD systems. Here is a patch that will allow smbios output to be used. I had to modify the query structure passed in so I could do some field mappings. Currently the smbios uses “Product:” for “Product Name:” and “Chassis Type:” for “Type:”
The one outstanding issue I could not resolve is the ‘(Chassis )?Type:’ field, in dmidecode it is capitalized, in smbios it is not. For example, all VMware VMs return the value ‘Other’ on Linux/*BSD systems where as on Solaris 10 x86, it is ‘other’. Both have the value 0x1. Did not want to special case the call to .capitalize for just this field.
