uname -i

Display the machine identification number (or the
node name, if the machine identification number
cannot be determined). This option cannot display
the unique machine identification number.

uname -n

Display the node name (system name) by which the
system is usually known in a UUCP network. .

uname -r

Display the current release level of the operating
system.

all the above are working in itanium server
