I just work at unix environment but there are no any document about the system.
I urgently want to know use which command can I get the release number of the system.

Thanks a lot

Hi,

Try

uname -a

This gives some essential information about the operating system.

model

gives information about the hardware.

Hope this helps,
Rik

Hi Cliff,

As rik told you, commands like 'uname -a' or 'model' will tell you what system you're on and what operating system the server is running.

A useful command to start with is 'dmesg' as this will show you what devices are connected, how much memory, etc...

if you don't have any documentation, have a look at http://www.docs.hp.com/ as this is a fairly complete source of documentation for HP systems and O/S.

Best regards,

Dan

Hi,

in addition with

swlist

you can see what software is installed (especially what patch (bundle) level you are on)

You can also use sam, which gives you a nice overlook of your system.

In sam goto Performance Monitors / System Properties. You will find several categories which tell you something about hardware, network and software.
