What does 'uname -i' show?

[navin]

uname -i's output differers with the entry in the output of uname -a.
Thanks

How so? Can post the output of both 'uname -a' and 'uname -i'?

[R N Sharma]

uname -i

Display the machine identification number (or the
node name, if the machine identification number
cannot be determined). This option cannot display
the unique machine identification number.


uname -n

Display the node name (system name) by which the
system is usually known in a UUCP network. .


uname -r

Display the current release level of the operating
system.


all the above are working in itanium server
