hi all,
i typed in 'uname -X' on my solaris server to find out version of solaris and it spat out the following :System = SunOS
Node = [name]
Release = 5.10
KernelID = Generic_138888-01
Machine = sun4v
BusType = <unknown>
Serial = <unknown>
Users = <unknown>
OEM# = 0
Origin# = 1
NumCPU = 32
how do i know what version of Solaris is installed ??
thanks in advance
Look at the release number: Release = 5.10
The "5" designates the major release - System 5. The number after the decimal point is the version - 10 in your case. I'm using version 9 and it reads like this when executing the uname -a command:
SunOS doomsday 5.9 Generic_118559-39 i86pc i386 i86pc
The release number 5.9 is listed after the server name: doomsday
>uname -r
5.5.1
>cat /etc/release

I think the cat command is a less confusing option. The Solaris system being run here is Version 2 (it is quite old). However the response to the uname command is 5.5.1. On the face of it the uname command suggests it is version 5 (which is incorrect - it is version 2)
