How to distinguish between ia64 and pa-risc?

[Estelle Agregado]

Which command can help me figure out if a machine is ia64 or pa-risc? (Something in the line of uname or getconf for example)

Thanks
Estelle

The model command is probably the easiest to decipher. I can tell you that a pa-risc output will have the "9000" designation.

uname -a:
root@hprp4440(lab)# uname -a
HP-UX hprp4440 B.11.23 U 9000/800 2596697767 unlimited-user license

or

model:
root@hprp4440(lab)# model
9000/800/rp4440

However, I do not have an Integrity server to compare the value to :(

Under /usr/bin is "hp-pa", which will return true if machine is a pa-risc.

example-
if /usr/bin/hp-pa then echo "I am parisc" ; else echo "not parisc" ; fi

Estelle,

Issue the model command. If the output contains an x(rx7620), it's Itanium, if it's a p(rp7410), it's pa-risc. The older boxes (like N's, L's, etc) were all pa-risc.

Our Itanium/intergity machine comes back with ia64 in the uname -a response;

uname -a
HP-UX B.11.23 U ia64
