  23       <div class="body"><p>When using sitesummary at a site to track machines, it is possible
  24 to get a list of the machine types in use thanks to the DMI
  25 information extracted from each machine.  The script to do so is
  26 included in the sitesummary package, and here is example output from
  27 the Skolelinux build servers:</p>
  28
  29 <blockquote><pre>
  30 maintainer:~# /usr/lib/sitesummary/hardware-model-summary
  31   vendor                    count
  32   Dell Computer Corporation     1
  33     PowerEdge 1750              1
  34   IBM                           1
  35     eserver xSeries 345 -[8670M1X]-     1
  36   Intel                         2
  37   [no-dmi-info]                 3
  38 maintainer:~#
  39 </pre></blockquote>
  40
  41 <p>The quality of the report depend on the quality of the DMI tables
  42 provided in each machine.  Here there are Intel machines without model
  43 information listed with Intel as vendor and no model, and virtual Xen
  44 machines listed as [no-dmi-info].  One can add -l as a command line
  45 option to list the individual machines.</p>
  46
  47 <p>A larger list is
  48 <a href="http://narvikskolen.no/sitesummary/">available from the the
  49 city of Narvik</a>, which uses Skolelinux on all their shools and also
  50 provide the basic sitesummary report publicly.  In their report there
  51 are ~1400 machines. I know they use both Ubuntu and Skolelinux on
  52 their machines, and as sitesummary is available in both distributions,
  53 it is trivial to get all of them to report to the same central
  54 collector.</p>
