In this tutorial, I will take you through the steps to install lspci, lsscsi, lsusb, and lsblk tools in RedHat/CentOS 7. In few of the instances we wanted to know the hardware configuration of our Servers. We have some open source tool available which can be used to check those configurations. For e.g: to check pci devices lspci tool can be used, for scsi devices lsscsi can be used, for usb devices lsusb can be used and for block devices lsblk can be used. We need to go ahead and download those packages using yum tool.

lspci – To List all PCI devices in the System

lsscsi –  To List all SCSI Devices in the System

lsusb – To List all USB Devices in the System

lsblk – To List all Block devices in the System

Install lspci,lsscsi,lsusb and lsblk tools
