Server Architecture

sshp — Thu, 31 Aug 2006 12:12:36 GMT

I believe there is a command that gives cpu architecture information 32 bit/64 bit , PA-RISC etc ..
Anyone know about such commands.
The server I am looking at is a 3440 HP-UX 11.11

The command is get_conf KERNEL_BITS. That will tell you 32/64. To know whether the machine is RISC or Itanium, use the model command. A RISC machine in your case would return rp3440 and an Itanium box would be rx3440.

I believe the command you are looking for is
getconf
(do a man on it for more details) but for now try

getconf KERNEL_BITS

I should add that you can also use getconf CPU_CHIP_TYPE to determine RISC/Itanium.

Forget CPU_CHIP_TYPE - it's encoded.

Hi SSHP,

#getconf KERNEL_BITS
#64
#getconf HW_CPU_SUPP_BITS

or you can check it through SAM.
