Determining Your System Version

The uname, model, and swlist commands can help you determine information about your system, including its hardware type, machine model, operating system version, and operating environment update status. (See uname(1), model(1), and swlist(1M).)

For OS naming conventions, please see “HP-UX 11i Release Names and Operating System Version Identifiers”.

Table 3 OS Version, System Architecture, and Machine Model

Topic	Command	Sample Output

Machine Model	`$``model` ^[3]	`ia64 hp server rx5670` `9000/800/S16K-A`
Operating Environment	`$`*`swlist HPUXOE`*	`# HPUX11i-OE-MC B.11.31 HP-UX Mission Critical Operating Environment`^[1]
OS Version.Update	`$`*`swlist HPUXOE`*	`# HPUX11i-TCOE B.11.23.0409 HP-UX Technical Computing OE Component` ^[1]
^[1]HP-UX 11i OS version identifiers have the form B.11.23 or B.11.23.0409, where B.11.23 is the OS version and 0409 is the year-month of the operating environment (OE) update. ^[2]`ia64` = Integrity. All others = HP 9000. ^[3]The getconf MACHINE_MODEL command gives the same output (see getconf(1).
