How to determine PA-RISC version?

[GPS]

I am downloading open source software which has following three options.

======================================
HP-UX 11.11 (PA-RISC 1.1 and 2.0)
HP-UX 11.11 (PA-RISC 2.0, 64-bit)
HP-UX 11.23 (IA64, 64-bit)
======================================

By using "swlist", I know my system OS is HP11, but I am not sure what PA-RISC version for my system.

What command or tool can figure out PA-RISC version 1.0 or 2.0?

basically you need to find out if your os is 32 bits or 64 bits, the command you will use is

getconf KERNEL_BITS

this will let you know which version you will need

Hi:

To show the PA-RISC version, do this:

# grep $(printf "0x%x" $(getconf _SC_CPU_VERSION)) /usr/include/sys/unistd.h

Shalom,

I match output from the system to a chart at http://docs.hp.com or newer server still sold at http://www.hp.com servers link.

There are a few charts floating around with PA-RISC version, constantly moving around to new links.

Hi GPS,

Here is the LIST

Hello,

A programmatical way to find the PA-RISC Version,

/* Routine that will determine the version of PA-RISC
* on which it runs, plus O/S Version and I/O type to
* decide if Server or Workstation class system.

* Calling sysconf with flag _SC_IO_TYPE now returns
* three possible values : IO_TYPE_WSIO, IO_TYPE_SIO
* and IO_TYPE_CDIO (Converged I/O), so that method
* of determining if server or workstation is no
* longer valid.

* To build:
* $ cc -o infomk2 infomk2.c
* To run:
* $ ./infomk2

* Author: Jon Dewis, CPFP April 1997.
* Amended May 1997.

Simply do this:

# file /stand/vmunix

will give that.

GPS,

You can find the required information by executing SAM -> Perfromance monitors -> System Properties.


Rgds,

Well, as muthu suggested "file /stand/vmunix" is the simplest of doing it.

I would like to suggest one more. :)

Use print manifest, it will clearly mention you the OS mode, whether it is 32 or 64 bit.

# /opt/ignite/bin/print_manifest > /myfile
# cat /myfile

Look for the system hardware information, for e.g. one of my system shows as:

System Hardware

Model: 9000/800/A500-44
Main Memory: 3072 MB
Processors: 2
OS mode: 64 bit
LAN hardware ID: 0x00306E03091C
LAN hardware ID: 0x001083187C0D
LAN hardware ID: 0x001083187C2D
LAN hardware ID: 0x00108318DC23
LAN hardware ID: 0x000000000000
LAN hardware ID: 0x000000000000
LAN hardware ID: 0x000000000000
LAN hardware ID: 0x000000000000

Hope that helps,

Hi (again):

Simply doing a 'file' on /stand/vmunix is not useful for older machines. For example, an old K200 running 10.20 would return:

# file /stand/vmunix
/stand/vmunix: s800 executable -not stripped

Yet:

# grep $(printf "0x%x" $(getconf _SC_CPU_VERSION)) /usr/include/sys/unistd.h

returns:

# define CPU_PA_RISC1_1 0x210 /* HP PA-RISC1.1 */

Regards!

There is one more way to find out from the model script

# model
9000/800/A500-7X
#
# grep A500-7X /usr/sam/lib/mo/sched.models


The second field is the PA-RISC version.
