Display the contents of the /etc/release file to identify your release version.
$ cat /etc/release
To display the current date and time according to your system clock, use the date command.
The following example shows sample output from the date command.
$ date Fri Jun 1 16:07:44 MDT 2012 $
To display the host ID number in a numeric (hexadecimal) format, use the hostid command.
The following example shows sample output from the hostid command.
$ hostid 80a5d34c
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
See the isainfo(1) man page.
For more information, see the isainfo (1) man page.
Use the isalist command to display information about a system's processor type.
The following sample output is from an x86 based system:
$ isalist pentium_pro+mmx pentium_pro pentium+mmx pentium i486 i386 i86
The following ample output is from a t a SPARC based system:
$ isalist sparcv9 sparcv8plus sparcv8 sparcv8-fsmuld sparcv7 sparc sparcv9+vis sparcv9+vis2 \ sparcv8plus+vis sparcv8plus+vis2
See the isalist(1) man page.
To display the product name for your system, use 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'
To display the amount of memory that is installed on your system, use the prtconf command with the grep Memory command. The following example shows 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 display both the default and customized property values for devices, use the prtconf command with the –u option.
$ prtconf -u
The output of the prtconf –u command displays the default and customized properties for all of the drivers that are on the system.
For more information about this option, see the prtconf(1M) man page.
Example 1-1 SPARC: Displaying Default and Custom Device PropertiesThis example shows the default and custom properties for the bge.conf file. Note that vendor-provided configuration files are located in the /kernel and /platform directories, while the corresponding modified driver configuration files are located in the /etc/driver/drv directory.
