How do I get the HP-UX version?

Mr. Lewis Lampkin, III — Tue, 13 Oct 2009 19:44:42 GMT

I want to get some software, but some is for Itanium, and some is for PA-RISC, and I don't know what I have.

Thanks!

Istan12345,

If I undrstand your question correctly,
Use this command in your system:

# uname -a
This will give the hp-ux os version. And Architecture: like PARISC or IA .(IA = Itanium)
Like hp-ux 11.23 .

# model #To know if its PA-RISC or IA.

# swlist -l bundle | grep -i HPUX | grep -i OE
- Thiss will print which OE you have. (OE=Operating Envirnment.)

Cheers,
Raj.

Hi..

As already said you can use
# uname -a
# model

But if you have ignite installed you can use:
# print_manifest

This will give you detailed info about the
server.

Regds..

The 10 point answer was the solution.
The 8 point answer explained what the 9000/800 meant, which I could not make sense of otherwise (which was probably plain to someone who does this for a living.)
The 5 point answer gave me additional options for running the commands.
The other answers were repeats, but still helpful, so 3 points each.
