How to determine Unix version

[Radha K Thoka]

Hi
Am trying to downloand a Oracle patch I need to determine the version of Unix box.

uname -a output is
HP-UX myhost B.11.11 U 9000/800 2664349216 unlimited-user license

Available flavors from Oracle are
1) HP 3000 SERIES MPE/IX
2) HP alpha SEVMS (SECURE)
3) hp ALPHA WINDOWS nt
4) HP OpenVMS Alpha
5) HP OpenVMS Itanium
6) HP Tru64Unix
7) HP VAX oPEN vms
8) HP-UX Itanium
9) HP-UX Itanium (32 bit)
10)HP-UX PA-RISC (32 bit)
11)HP-UX PA-RISC (64 bit)
12)HP-UX PA-RISC 10.20

I think that should be either of these 1,8-12. thanks for information.

Regards,
RK

You are running HP-UX version 11.11, also known as HP-UX 11i v1. This will also mean that you are running a PA-RISC machine as 11.11 ONLY runs on PA-RISC.

The next thing to determine is what kernel "bitness" you are running, 32-bit or 64-bit. To do this run:

# getconf KERNEL_BITS

If it returns '32' you need #10 on your list.

If it returns '64' you need #11 on your list.

hi RK,

you can only install either of:
10)HP-UX PA-RISC (32 bit)
11)HP-UX PA-RISC (64 bit)

if your system supports 64bits then 11) will be the option to choose.

(e.g. /usr/bin/getconf KERNEL_BITS )

Anyway, when you run the RDA script to validate your installation environment, you will get all the required information.

hope this helps!

kind regards

Hi Radha,

As per ur "uname -a" o/p -
HP-UX myhost B.11.11 U 9000/800 2664349216 unlimited-user license

9000/800 means its a PA-RISC system.

so, the Unix version on ur system is either -

10)HP-UX PA-RISC (32 bit), or
11)HP-UX PA-RISC (64 bit)

Use the below command to determine, if its a 32 bit or 64-bit kernel.

#getconf KERNEL_BITS

thanks
