To determine machine-specific information for
Sun Workstations for Solaris 2.x platforms:
One method for getting workstation information is to
run the wsinfo
command (/usr/openwin/bin/wsinfo). This will bring up a dialog with information about your
workstation including: workstation type (for example: SUNW,Ultra-2;
sparc; sun4u) operating system version (for example: SunOS
Release 5.5.1 Generic_103640-19) window system version (for example: OpenWindows
Version 3.5.1) physical memory (for example: 128 Megabytes)
On some platforms (like the Ultra-5/Ultra-10), the machine type may
say something like: SUNW,Ultra-5_10. In this case, please report to us the correct machine
type (either 5 or 10).
Another method for getting the same information
above is to run uname -a.
This displays:
|
|
% uname -a
SunOS jumbo 5.5.1 Generic_103640-19 sun4u sparc SUNW,Ultra-2
Explanation: SunOS = o/s name
jumbo = machine name
5.5.1 = o/s version release level
Generic_103640-19 = o/s version
sun4u = machine class
sparc = machine processor type
SUNW,Ultra-2 = machine type/platform
|
Another, more hardware oriented command is
prtconf -pv. This displays a lot of useful information.
To determine machine specific information for Sun
Workstations for Solaris 1.x (SunOS 4.x) platforms:
Run uname -a.
This will output information as described below:
|
|
% uname -a
SunOS kazoo 4.1.3 3 sun4c
Explanation: SunOS = o/s name
kazoo = machine name
4.1.3 = o/s version release level
3 = o/s version
sun4c = machine class

To determine product release version information
for Sun Workstations on a Solaris 2.x platform:
The s/w portions of a product for Solaris 2.x are installed via
packages. A given product may have multiple packages. Generally the revision numbers for
each package of a product will be the same. Occasionally, for example when a bug fix is
made, a given package of a product may have a higher revision number.
To determine what Osprey products are installed on your machine run:
% pkginfo | grep MMAC
This may give a list resembling:
system MMACo1ks Osprey-1100 Audio/Video Codec SBUS Card Device
Driver
application MMACo1ku Osprey-1x00 Audio/Video Codec Runtime Support Software
application MMACo1kx Osprey-1x00 Audio/Video Codec XIL 1.2 Runtime Support Software
To find information about a particular package,
run pkginfo -l on a
package:
|
|
% pkginfo -l MMACo1kx
PKGINST: MMACo1kx
NAME: Osprey-1x00 Audio/Video Codec XIL 1.2 Runtime Support Software
CATEGORY: application,video
ARCH: sparc
VERSION: 5.5.1,REV=1.1.1
BASEDIR: /opt
VENDOR: ViewCast.Com. Inc.
DESC: Contains libraries and applications for Osprey-1x00
PSTAMP: truelies980707173831
NSTDATE: Jul 09 1998 17:36
HOTLINE: (919) 319-9200
EMAIL: [email protected]
STATUS: completely installed
FILES: 21 installed pathnames
11 shared pathnames
10 directories
1 executables
764 blocks used (approx)
|
The important information is the PKGINST line and
the VERSION line. So if you have an Osprey-1100 installed (as we do in
this example) and are asked to report the s/w version number, run
pkginfo -l
on the packages and report to
us something like:
MMACo1ks/1.0,REV=1.1.1, MMACo1ku/1.0,REV=1.1.1,
MMACo1kx/5.5.1,REV=1.1.1
To determine product release version information
for Sun Workstations on a Solaris 1.x platform:
Only the SLIC-Video product is currently supported on Solaris
1.x/SunOS 4.x. If the s/w portion of the product has been installed, you can check
the version by running the following command
% grep Version /usr/etc/slv.INSTALL
echo "SLIC-Video: Version 1.0 Release 1.0.6"
You would report to us in this example "Version 1.0 Release
1.0.6"
To determine display depth on a Sun workstation:
One easy way to determine color
depth is to run xcolor which is in /usr/openwin/bin
. This will bring up a window which represents the current installed
colormap. On a 8bit display depth, you should see lots of little squares of different
colors - especially at the top half of the colormap. On a 24bit display depth, you should
not see little boxes of different colors. Instead you might see a few solid rows of
red, black, green and blue.
