I don't understand your question. What do you mean "debug os"?

[yatin]

debug os is one which is using debug kernel

hi,

i am not getting u. which program or software running on which version of HP-UX r u referring to?

[yatin]

I need some info about the installed os like it s version number etc uname doesnot give sufficent info

[Joseph Loo]

hi,

please be more precise, what sort of info? do u happen to have IgniteUX which should come with print_manifest.

regards.

[Joseph Loo]

also, try:

# uname -a
which will give u the OS version

Hi,
If its O.S related s/w info you want along with the versions pls try swlist command
( see man swlist for more info )
You can get the O.S version,product versions
patch revision etc..,.
If it's hardware related info required then
pls use xstm or cstm if support tools is installed.

Yes you can determine it by looking at its version. Say if it is PA servers it should be above 11.11 and if it is IA one's then it should be above 11.23.

# uname -a

This will display the Version info for you.

Hope that works.

Who is asking you the original question?
Internal to HP, there are several flavors of the HP-UX kernel. One of them is known as a debug kernel, and is full of assertions and other sanity checks. It's great for finding bugs in pre-release versions of HP-UX before they escape into the field, but that comes at a significant performance penalty. This flavor of kernel is almost never seen on customer systems due to the extra overhead, among other things. If this is the question you are being asked, and your system's copy of HP-UX came from normal release media or equivalent, you can safely say that you do not use the debug kernel.
