"isalist" is the user command in Solaris.
"isalist" - display the native instruction sets executable on Solaris.
i want to know which command on HP-UX gives same.

Thanks in Advance.

Hi,

For more info look for man pages for uname

IA

"uname -a" works fine on both platform
but "isalist" on Solaris gives
bash-2.03$ isalist
sparcv9+vis sparcv9 sparcv8plus+vis sparcv8plus sparcv8 sparcv8-fsmuld sparcv7 sparc

But on HP-UX it give command not found.

Hi,

To view whether or not a system is PA-RISC or ITANIUM based, look at the physical machine model number using model command (model prints the machine hardware model).
If it starts with rx, it is ITANIUM.
If it starts with rp or is one of the older D,R,K,N boxes, it is PA-RISC

You can also info from /usr/sam/lib/mo/sched.models file.
getconf KERNEL_BITS ---- will give you 32/64 info.

Then you can find out if it supports PA-RISC 32-bit instruction set or 64-bit

Hi try this,
Example:
#model
9000/800/L2000

#strings /usr/sam/lib/mo/sched.models|grep L2000
L2000-36 2.0 PA8500
L2000-44 2.0 PA8500
L2000-5X 2.0 PA8600
L2000-8X 2.0 PA8700

model gives you "hardware model information" on HP-UX

arch -k gives you "display the architecture of the current host" On Solaris.

I need the command which "display the native instruction sets executable on HP-UX"

Thanks,
MTY.

I am no Solaris person...but I think that's what folks are trying to share.

HPUX can be Itanium or PA-RISC, you can find this out by typing things like ... uname -a

Where Solaris (as you posted) uses bash, HPUX has the Posix shell (the default kernel shell) and can also use KORN, Bourne, C (aka California) shells. To get a full list of what is on the box just type ... swlist

The terminology is different, and you will find that commands you use in Solaris may not have a full-fledged equivalents on HPUX (and visa-versa).

Hope this helped at least a little,
Rgrds,
Rita

You might want to give this a look. not sure if you will find what you are looking for, but I have found it useful.

I don't know sparc systems at all, but what the reason for issuing this command? Seems for me like compiler related. Do you want to compile anything? Please provide a more detailed question.

There is no HP-UX command which does what you
want. To determine the native ISA on an
HP-UX machine, use the model and uname
commands as described by the other posters,
or use "getconf CPU_VERSION" and decode the
value using /usr/include/sys/unistd.h. Once
you figure out if machine is PA1.0, PA1.1,
PA2.0 or IA64, it is easy to figure out what
ISAs the machine supports: a PA1.0 machine
only supports PA1.0, a PA1.1 machine supports
PA1.0 and PA1.1, and so on.
