How do I get the following information out of a solaris sparc machine?


-Processor Id -baseboard manufacturer and -serial number of the bios

For the x86 solaris I got it from smbios but when I run smbios on a solaris sparc, it gives me an error message: smbios: failed to load SMBIOS: System does not export an SMBIOS table

I would also like to get the information programmatically.

Any help would be appreciated.


Solution

  • This is no surprise. SPARC machines do not make use of a BIOS but what is called the Open Boot PROM.

    Here are some commands that will help you gathering information from your machine:

    prtdiag
    prtconf
    prtfru
    psrinfo -v
    sneep
