uname -a and sysinfo shows different results

Post by Te » Sun, 17 Mar 2002 21:56:08



I have downloaded sysinfo (sysinfo-4.0.2-sunos-sparc) utility from
http://www.magnicomp.com/sysinfo and installed sysinfo
(sysinfo-4.0.2-sunos-sparc) utility for Sun SPARC 2.8.
it is showing the Syetem Model
System Model is Enterprise 420R Model 2450

if i run the command #uname -i

it shows me SUNW,Ultra-80

prtconf is also showing me the same

System Configuration:  Sun Microsystems  sun4u

SUNW,Ultra-80

Why it is so. i am confused. weahter i have Sun Work Station ULTRA 80
or Enterprise 420R Model 2450 Server

Looking for a early reply

Thanks and Regards,

Tej

The 420R *is* an Ultra 80, but in a different enclosure to be able to
rack-mount it. It's the exact same motherboard, with the same
components.

I think there's a way to get it to say that it's a 420R instead of an
Ultra 80 but I can't remember from the top of my head right now.

Search for it in google and in SunSolve, and you'll probably find a
solution, it might be a question of setting the system type in the OBP
banner, but I'm not sure.

What does it say in the OBP if you type banner, 420 or U80?

Guess what motherboard is in an 420R ?

If you want to check without going to OBP, something like the following
should work (I don't have a 420R handy to try it on, but it works on an
IPC, a Voyager, a SPARC 10, and a Sun Blade 100):

/usr/sbin/prtconf -pv|sed -n "/banner-name:/{s/[^']*'\([^']*\)'.*\$/\1/p;q;}"

Thanks a lot. typing prtconf -pv ,I am getting the following information

    model:  'SUNW,501-5168'
    name:  'SUNW,Ultra-80'
    clock-frequency:  06b4e400
    banner-name:  'Sun Enterprise 420R (2 X UltraSPARC-II 450MHz)'
    device_type:  'upa'
So what do you say , a server or a work station.

Thanks

Tej

Since it says 420R in the banner, that's probably what it is, but
honestly - does it matter?
