To Determine System Configuration - (No of CPUs, their speed, RAM, No of Hard disks, their capacity).

Hi,

One a linux server (RHEL AS 2), fdisk -l command does not tell the size of
hard disk.  Is there a way out.  Please help.

[root at bangpcrh212 root]# more /etc/redhat-release
Red Hat Linux Advanced Server release 2.1AS (Pensacola) Update 5
[root at bangpcrh212 root]# fdisk -l

Disk /dev/sda: 255 heads, 63 sectors, 8924 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 bytes

   Device Boot    Start       End    Blocks   Id  System
/dev/sda1   *         1       127   1020096   83  Linux
/dev/sda2           128       637   4096575   83  Linux
/dev/sda3           638      1019   3068415   83  Linux
/dev/sda4          1020      8924  63496912+   f  Win95 Ext'd (LBA)
