This section describes commands that enable you to display general system information.
You can use the following command to display the contents of the /etc/release file, which helps in identifying your release version.
$ cat /etc/release
You can use the date command to display the current date and time according to your system clock.
$ date Fri Jun 1 16:07:44 MDT 2012 $
You can use the hostid command to display the host ID number in a numeric (hexadecimal) format.
$ hostid 80a5d34c
You can use the isainfo command to display the architecture type and names of the native instruction sets, for applications that are supported by the current operating system.
The following sample output is from an x86 based system:
$ isainfo amd64 i386
The following sample output is from a SPARC based system:
$ isainfo sparcv9 sparc
The isainfo –v command displays 32-bit and 64-bit application support. For example, the following sample output is from a SPARC based system:
$ isainfo -v
64-bit sparcv9 applications
asi_blk_init
32-bit sparc applications
asi_blk_init v8plus div32 mul32
#
The following example shows the output of the isainfo –v command from an x86 based system:
$ isainfo -v
64-bit amd64 applications
sse4.1 ssse3 ahf cx16 sse3 sse2 sse fxsr mmx cmov amd_sysc cx8 tsc fpu
32-bit i386 applications
sse4.1 ssse3 ahf cx16 sse3 sse2 sse fxsr mmx cmov sep cx8 tsc fpu
For more information, see the isainfo(1) man page.
You can use the isalist command to display information about the processor of a system.
The following sample output is from an x86 based system:
$ isalist pentium_pro+mmx pentium_pro pentium+mmx pentium i486 i386 i86
The following sample output is from a SPARC based system:
$ isalist sparcv9 sparcv8plus sparcv8 sparcv8-fsmuld sparcv7 sparc sparcv9+vis sparcv9+vis2 \ sparcv8plus+vis sparcv8plus+vis2
For more information, see the isalist(1) man page.
You can display the product name of your system using the prtconf command with the –b option:
$ prtconf -b
For more information, see the prtconf(1M) man page.
The following example shows sample output from the prtconf –b command on a SPARC based system:
$ prtconf -b name: ORCL,SPARC-T4-2 banner-name: SPARC T4-2 compatible: 'sun4v' $
The following example shows sample output from the prtconf –vb command on a SPARC based system. The added –v option specifies verbose output.
$ prtconf -vb name: ORCL,SPARC-T3-4 banner-name: SPARC T3-4 compatible: 'sun4v' idprom: 01840014.4fa02d28.00000000.a02d28de.00000000.00000000.00000000.00000000 openprom model: SUNW,4.33.0.b openprom version: 'OBP 4.33.0.b 2011/05/16 16:26'
You can display the amount of memory that is installed on your system using the prtconf command with the grep Memory command. The following example shows a sample output, where the grep Memory command selects output from the prtconf command to display memory information only:
$ prtconf | grep Memory Memory size: 523776 Megabytes
You can use the prtconf –u command to display the default and customized property values for devices.
$ prtconf -u
The output of the prtconf –u command displays the default and customized properties for all of the drivers that are installed on the system.
For more information about this option, see the prtconf(1M) man page.

The psrinfo command has been modified to provide information about physical processors in addition to information about virtual processors. This enhanced functionality has been added to identify chip multithreading (CMT) features. The –p option reports the total number of physical processors that are in a system. The –t option displays a tree of the processors of the system and their associated socket, core, and CPU IDs.
Using the psrinfo –pv command lists all the physical processors that are in the system as well as the virtual processors that are associated with each physical processor. The default output of the psrinfo command continues to display the virtual processor information for a system.
For more information, see the psrinfo(1M) man page.
You can use the psrinfo -p command to display the total number of physical processors on a system.
$ psrinfo -p 1
You can use the –-v option to display information about the virtual processor that is associated with each physical processor.
This example shows the sample output for the psrinfo–pv command on a SPARC based system.
