Would just like some feedback from others, for their ideas, or
experiences on having to routinely inventory large numbers of solaris
workstations.

Ideally I am would like to be able to automagically maintain a running
inventory of:

-Wokstations (IP, MAC)

-Basic info about internals (cpu, ram, fbuffers)

-Periperhals (local disks, tape drives)

In theory this magical script would run on a single machine, use NIS to
find ip's and macs, verify the machines presence and then collect the
above basic info. Of course if anyone has any clever ideas how one
might track the location of the workstation that would be great !!

If you have a script that's great, would love to see it even if it only
does some of the above.....but really am just looking for a range of
possible approaches...wild ideas or past experiences

Thanks

D
