Computer performance / hardware check
Hi all,
i have servers and pcs, is there a tool to check their hardware, to see everything is OK ?
to check disc writing/reading, cpu usage under pressure etc..
to see the raid controller is working, the nic cards are not damaged etc..
How do you usually perform these checks ?
Thanks.

Hello,
Hi all,
i have servers and pcs, is there a tool to check their hardware, to see everything is OK ?
for checking hardware contact your manufacturer Technical Support for diagnosis tools.
You can use performance monitor to monitor the use of your hardware ressources.
For RAM check, you can use memtest86+.
to check disc writing/reading, cpu usage under pressure etc..
For pressure, you can see with its developer Technical Support or use performance monitor to monitor disks read / write operation.
to see the raid controller is working, the nic cards are not damaged etc..
For NIC cards, try pinging to 127.0.0.1 and to other network equipements and check ping replies.

Perfmon is a standard installed tool that will allow you to gather system stats. It is one of those tools all admins should use, and use often to keep tabs on the health of their servers.:P Advice offered, If you need more help it is advised to seek the council and advice of paid professionals. The answer is always 42, or reboot.
