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.
