Hi

this is my first time on a dec alpha box i know some unix but could do with a little help.

when i type uname -s i get OSF1 is this the same as tru64

how do i find out the server model

John,

sizer -v will provide more info on OS version

sizer -c on CPU type (or psrinfo , or grep Alpha /var/adm/messages | tail -5 )

You need to put in the full path

/usr/sbin/sizer

But putting /usr/sbin in the PATH in your .profile will sort it out everytime you login.

[Johan Brusche]

The command is /usr/sbin/sizer, and it's availabel on my OSF1 V3.2G system.

Alternatively use "uname -a"

Just to add one more quistion.

How to get the KERNEL BIT info ??
i.e. wheather it is 32 or 64 bit ??

[Johan Brusche]

There is no such bit, it's (and always has been since its inception) a 64-bit OS.

Tru64 does not drag a legacy 32-bit compatibility mode within it's history.

Thanks a lot for the info. Infact, just before i pressed "refresh" on this page, i had also found out that tru64 is available only with 64 bits
