[Solved] processor type and bit information

Hi,

I'm trying to download a compatible Oracle Client software for a HP-UX machine. I'd like to know if ...

1) HP-UX is 32 bit or 64 bit?

2) Processor type - Itanium or regular?

when I execute uname -a I get

HP-UX B.11.11 U 9000/800 728684161 unlimited-user license

Based on the above uname -a output I think it is a "non" Itanium processor and a 64 bit OS. Could you correct me if I'm wrong?

Thanks

Thanks for the quick response..

1) I was able to confrim that it was a 64 bit OS from the getconf KERNEL_BITS command.

2) I was unable to run the ioscan command as I did not have the privilege to run it. I've requested my SA to run that command and I'm waiting for a reply.

3) I ran model and it displayed the following output... Not sure if I can come to a conclusion based on this output as to whether its Itanium or not..

$ model
9000/800/rp3440


Thanks again for your help...

Thanks again for your help...
its a PA_RISC box based on your model output. you can also run the "file" command on any system binary.

Tools look at `uname -a' ...

- if the output of `uname -a' contains "9000/*" , then it's PA-RISC (the processor type, that is) ;

- otherwise, you should see "ia64", which indicates Itanium ;

hth,

good luck, and success !
