I am trying to discover hardware within a SPARC server running Solaris 8. The hardware I would like to identify is the processors ( number, speed, and location), memory (number, amount, and slot location). Is there a command that I can run to discover this information within the Solaris OS?
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
Nevermind my last question. Apparently this command gives more information from particular hardware.
I tried it on a 420R, and it did not give me memory information.
When I tried it on a SunFire 280R, it gave tons more information, incl. the memort configurations.
Thanks again for the help.
You are correct, each platform will produce different results using prtdiag -v. However, if you go to SunSolve.sun.com and research the E420R, for example, you should be able to determine which slots are populated by the Bank #. The following indicates that Bank 0 in an E420R resides in slots U1301 & U1302 BUT reading the MEMORY NOTES it indicates that a bank consists of 4 DIMMS so the other 2 reside on the Memory Riser card in slots U0301 & U0302. http://sunsolve.Sun.COM/handbook_pub/Devices/System_Board/SYSBD_Ultra80.html

Don't worry about the Ultra 80 memtioned in the url. Both systems use the same systemboard.
