Technical Tip: Explaining the 'get hardware status' command

In order to get device hardware status, use the following command to grab multiple model details:

For hardware devices:

get hardware status
Model name: FortiGate-61E            <- Hardware model.
ASIC version: SOC3                   <- ASIC version .
ASIC SRAM: 64M                       <- ASIC RAM capacity.
CPU: ARMv7                           <- CPU type.
Number of CPUs: 4                    <- No. of CPU 's available.
RAM: 1866 MB                         <- Device RAM capacity.
EMMC: 3662 MB(MLC) /dev/mmcblk0      <- Compact Flash size.
Hard disk: 122104 MB /dev/sda        <- Device Hard disk.
USB Flash: not available             <- USB Flash option, varies from model to model.
Network Card chipset: FortiASIC NP6LITE Adapter (rev.)   <- Network processor at interface level to accelerate traffic.

For VM models:

get hardware status
Model name: FortiGate-VM64-          <- VM model.
ASIC version: not available          <- Not available for VMs.
CPU: AMD EPYC 7443 24-Core Processor <- CPU type.
Number of CPUs: 1                    <- Number of processors.
RAM: 1992 MB                         <- Device RAM capacity.
Compact Flash: 2056 MB /dev/vda      <- Compact Flash size.
Hard disk: 16384 MB /dev/vdb         <- VM Hard disk.
USB Flash: not available             <- Not available for VMs.
