Re: What does the OS version mean?
Ok, I tried "sizer -v".
Below i what returned :
Compaq Tru64 UNIX V5.1A (Rev. 1885); Mon May 31 09:15:45 CDT 2004
It is showing "Rev.1885", what is that?
Also, the time " Mon May 31 09:15:45 CDT 2004" means the time when the system was upgraded into V5.1A, right?

Re: What does the OS version mean?
The time indicates when the system was installed, upgraded, or patched. On one of our systems we have:
# sizer -v
Compaq Tru64 UNIX V5.1B (Rev. 2650); Sun Jun 5 08:31:56 EDT 2005
June 5th was the date we installed a performance patch.

Re: What does the OS version mean?
Then it looks like our system has not been patched for more than 1 year.
Victor, will you provide me a pointer where to find all those patches? Thanks!

Re: What does the OS version mean?
Michael is correct, it just so happen that the performance patch we installed did rebuild the kernel.

#grep KITNAME /var/adm/patch/log/event.log
Check the Kitname and match it against the site given previously.
