Re: The Version of the OS on HP-machines


uname -a will tell you the release, and then:

For 10.20 it's 32

for the 11's do this:

getconf KERNEL_BITS

Re: The Version of the OS on HP-machines

Hi,

try this:

# getconf KERNEL_BITS

this will report your version - 32 or 64 bit 11.0 OS

# uname -a - will give you all OS details in 10.20 and 11.0

HTH,

Re: The Version of the OS on HP-machines

Hi,

All 10.20 Os is 32 Bit,

To find out if the kernel is 32 or 64 bits try this,

On 32bit systems you will get following:
# getconf KERNEL_BITS
32

On 64bit systems you will got following:
# getconf KERNEL_BITS
64

to find out if the cpu supports 32/64 bit,
start sam --> goto Performance Monitors -> System Properties -> Processor

verify Kernel Width Support:

The following summarizes the HP 9000 Server implementations:

32-Bit Only: D, E, G, H, and I-class, K-class (PA7 x 00),
T500, and T520.

32/64-Bit: K-class (PA8x00), and T600,

64-Bit Only:V2200, N-Class, L-Class

Hope this helps.

Re: The Version of the OS on HP-machines

Hi,
#uname -a gives you the OS version.
if you inetend to know bits, then
#getconf KERNEL_BITS

or sam-->performance monitor-->system properties--> Operating system

OS kernel width gives the OS bits
never give up

Hi

1)uname -a as shown

b)file /stand/vmunix

10.xx 32 bit


/stand/vmunix: s800 executable -not stripped


11.xx

32bit as 10.xx
/stand/vmunix: PA-RISC1.1 executable -not stripped

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

Re: The Version of the OS on HP-machines

Try 'swlist' and look for HPUXBase. This will show 32 or 64 bit.

Share and Enjoy! Ian
