L2000 How can i tell if it is a PA-RISC or Itanium machine

[whiteSox]

Hello,

the uname -a and the model command does not tel me that is there a way to find out if the machine is PA-RISC or ITANIUM working remotely .What command will tel me that ..
Thanks

L-class machines are ALL PA-RISC
uname -a will tell you the OS version, if it is below 11.23 it is cannot be an Itanium based server

Hi,

Try
# file /stand/vmunix
/stand/vmunix: ELF-64 executable object file - PA-RISC 2.0 (LP64)

in above example PA_Risc.

Regards,

You ask ITRC.

PA-RISC.

Will run 11i v1 11i v2 and when released 11i v3 (probably).

64 bit btw.

Rule of thumb: rp series are PA-RISC
rx series are Itanium

If the "uname -a" returns a pattern "ia-64" then you have an Itanium system. If using the model command, the system model will being with "rx"
Example, rx4640

L class is definitely a PA-RISC.

[Torsten.]

If you have a L2000 you can be sure to have a PA-RISC system.

In all other cases run "model".
If the command returns something like

ia64 hp server rx4640

the "ia64" stands for an Itanium or better Integrity machine.

Anyway, if you see an "x" in the name, this means Integrity, a "p" means PA-RISC, e.g.

rx4640 - Integrity
rp4440 - PA-RISC

Actually uname -m would be sufficient - that will return _just_ ia64 and none of the other stuff.

The uname -m command on a PA-RISC system (well, one from HP anyway) will have "9000" in the output.

Strictly speaking 11.22 and 11.20 were Itanium-only releases, so the release _could_ be below 11.23 and be Itanium. Of course, those two releases are quite obsolete today :)

It is correct to say that anything that says 11.11 or lower is PA-RISC

Hi,

Lookup your server's model in the "/usr/sam/lib/mo/sched.models" file to determine whether it belongs to the PA-RISC or Itanium family.
