HI Thanks,

root@xtester scp/plugins # getconf KERNEL_BITS

getconf KERNEL_BITS: Invalid argument

its giving error invalid argument, any clue?

[Jeeshan]

what do u mean about firmware revision?
System or OS?

If you want to check system firmware revision you need to specify the server model.

You can check your firmware revision from MP.

in MP > cm> sysrev

[Jeeshan]

sajjad, KERNEL_BITS is related to see the 64-bit or 32-bit system

[Sajjad Sahir]

change u shell

[Sajjad Sahir]

he want to know to 32 bit or 64 bit

[Ron Irving]

The latest tombstone will show you the system f/w revistion, (/var/tombstones/ts99.)

Hope this helps!

I'm not sure how these replies have anything to do with avizen9's question about firmware?

KERNEL_BITS is related to hardware (and software for the very few machines and OS versions that support both 32 and 64 bit).

Hi there,

If you are looking for different components firmware, run sysrev from MP.

if you are looking for system firmware run stm from your login and get the details from information log.

hope this helps

I really doubt if a server that runs hp-ux 10.20 has a GSP or even MP.

It would be easier to tell us the server model (run "model") ... best chance is IMHO to use (c)stm and grep for "PDC".

[avizen9]

HI i am still not very clear how to check
firmware version in hpux 11 server, i go through the file /var/tombstones/ts99 and found below line in this file.

System Firmware Rev. = 0x0000000000000000^M

is this correct?
any other way to check it?

[Torsten. · Accepted solution]

Try if this works:

# echo "selclass qualifier cpu;info;wait;il"|cstm|grep PDC

If you tell your server model it would be easier.

Just to clarify:

You searched the PIM section in file /var/tombstones/ts99 - no PIM = no data (all values are "0").
But you can grep even this file for "PDC".
