This section describes commands that enable you to display general system information.
The following is an alphabetical list of system information commands shown in man page form, with short descriptions and examples or links to examples.
Displays and sets date and time.

$ hostid 84f9ae0a
Identifies various attributes of the instruction set architectures supported on the currently running system. Examples of questions that isainfo can answer include whether 64-bit applications are supported, or whether the running kernel uses 32-bit or 64-bit device drivers.
See Displaying Architecture Type and Displaying Processor Type.
Displays system configuration information, installed memory, device properties, and product name.
See Displaying Product Name, Displaying Installed Memory and Displaying Default and Customized Property Values for a Device.
Displays system configuration and diagnostic information, including any failed field replacement units (FRUs). See Displaying System Diagnostic Information.
Displays processor information. See Chip Multithreading Features

Displays operating system name, release, version, node name, hardware name, processor type, and virtualization status. The virtualization status appears in the uname -a command output starting with the Oracle Solaris 11.4 SRU 36 release.
$ uname -a SunOS example-server 5.11 11.4.36.15.0 sun4v sparc sun4v non-virtualized

Assembled 10 October 2018
You can use the isainfo command to display the architecture type and names of the native instruction sets for applications that are supported by the current operating system. An x86 based system would display amd64 i386, while a SPARC based system would display sparcv9 sparc.
Command options show more specific information. The isainfo -v command displays 32-bit and 64-bit application support. For example, the following sample output is from a SPARC based system:
$ isainfo -v
64-bit sparcv9 applications
crc32c cbcond pause mont mpmul sha512 sha256 sha1 md5 camellia kasumi
des aes ima hpc vis3 fmaf asi_blk_init vis2 vis popc
32-bit sparc applications
crc32c cbcond pause mont mpmul sha512 sha256 sha1 md5 camellia kasumi
des aes ima hpc vis3 fmaf asi_blk_init vis2 vis popc v8plus div32 mul32
On an x86 based system, the same command syntax would generate the following output:
$ isainfo -v
64-bit amd64 applications
avx xsave pclmulqdq aes sse4_2 sse4_1 ssse3 popcnt tscp ahf
cx16 sse3 sse2 sse fxsr mmx cmov amd_sysc cx8 tsc fpu
32-bit i386 applications
avx xsave pclmulqdq aes sse4_2 sse4_1 ssse3 popcnt tscp ahf
cx16 sse3 sse2 sse fxsr mmx cmov sep cx8 tsc fpu
You can use the isainfo -x command to display information about the processor of a system. The following sample output is from an x86 based system:
$ isainfo -x
amd64: avx xsave pclmulqdq aes sse4_2 sse4_1 ssse3 popcnt tscp ahf cx16 sse3
sse2 sse fxsr mmx cmov amd_sysc cx8 tsc fpu
i386: avx xsave pclmulqdq aes sse4_2 sse4_1 ssse3 popcnt tscp ahf cx16 sse3
sse2 sse fxsr mmx cmov sep cx8 tsc fpu
The following sample output is from a SPARC based system:
$ isainfo -x sparcv9: ima fmaf vis2 vis popc sparc: ima fmaf vis2 vis popc v8plus div32 mul32
For more information, see the isainfo(1) man page.
You can display the product name of your system using the prtconf command with the –b option. The following example shows verbose output on a SPARC based system:
$ /usr/sbin/prtconf -vb name: ORCL,SPARC-S7-2L banner-name: SPARC S7-2L compatible: 'sun4v' idprom: 01860010.e0bb7ce6.00000000.bb7ce677.00000000.00000000.00000000.00000000 openprom model: SUNW,4.43.2 openprom version: 'OBP 4.43.2 2019/01/25 07:51'
You can display the amount of memory that is installed on your system using the prtconf command piped to grep Memory. For example:
$ prtconf | grep Memory Memory size: 260352 Megabytes
You can use the prtconf -u command to display the default and customized property values for devices.
Example 1 SPARC: Displaying Default and Custom Device PropertiesThis example shows the default and custom properties for the e1000g.conf file. Note that vendor-provided configuration files are located in the /kernel and /platform directories, while the corresponding modified driver configuration files are located in the /etc/driver/drv directory.

The psrinfo command has been modified to provide information about physical processors in addition to information about virtual processors. This enhanced functionality has been added to identify chip multithreading (CMT) features. The –p option reports the total number of physical processors that are in a system. The –t option displays a tree of the processors of the system and their associated socket, core, and CPU IDs.
Using the psrinfo -pv command lists the physical processors in the system and the virtual processors that are associated with each physical processor. The following example applies the command to an x86 based system:
$ /usr/sbin/psrinfo -pv
The physical processor has 8 cores and 16 virtual processors (0-7,16-23)
The core has 2 virtual processors (0,16)
The core has 2 virtual processors (1,17)
The core has 2 virtual processors (2,18)
The core has 2 virtual processors (3,19)
The core has 2 virtual processors (4,20)
The core has 2 virtual processors (5,21)
The core has 2 virtual processors (6,22)
The core has 2 virtual processors (7,23)
x86 (GenuineIntel 206D7 family 6 model 45 step 7 clock 2893 MHz)
Intel(r) Xeon(r) CPU E5-2690 0 @ 2.90GHz
The physical processor has 8 cores and 16 virtual processors (8-15,24-31)
