How to find Server model in Suse? dmidecode is not working here

server gives output for hwinfo, but not listing lshw,lshal etc. Server is remotely located, so I cant find it physically. dmesg command is also not helping with boot logs.
I am not a Suse admin, request fast reply.

Thanks
Shyam

What about the /proc filesystem. Files like /proc/cpuinfo
What are you looking for?

I am looking for model of Server not of CPU.

Try:

grep DMI: /var/log/dmesg*

If the old logs are gzipped then you may need to uncompress them first.

dmidecode -t system | awk -F: '$1~/Product Name/'

works on many if not all systems. But needs root (sudo).

Thanks all for your efforts.

I finally got answer when tried like below

host # hwinfo >/var/tmp/hwinfo.out
host # grep -i product /var/tmp/hwinfo.out
Product = 'ProLiant DL380 G4'

THanks
Shyam
