This article explains an inbuilt utility available to perform basic hardware checks to verify the hardware is capable of running SSR software.
A utility, "fai_scan.sh" is available by default in SSR devices and to perform health check for validating SSR runtime requirements.
FAI stands for First Article Inspection tool for providing detailed system information to evaluate support capability analysis.
Example of the command and its output.
[root@128t-br1 ~]# /usr/libexec/fai_scan.sh
