Operating System and Version Information by platform:

---

AIX
HP
Linux
Solaris
Windows

---

Gathering version information on AIX

Collect the output of the following commands from each system involved in current problem determination:
(Keep the following commands in a script "osinfo.sh" and run the same as root using "ksh -x osinfo.sh")

echo '### uname -a' > osinfo.txt
uname -a >> osinfo.txt
echo '### oslevel -r' >> osinfo.txt
oslevel -r >> osinfo.txt
echo '### oslevel -s' >> osinfo.txt
oslevel -s >> osinfo.txt
echo '### prtconf' >> osinfo.txt
prtconf 2>&1 | tee -a osinfo.txt
echo '### ulimit -a' >> osinfo.txt
ulimit -a >> osinfo.txt

Rename the osinfo.txt to prefix the system name such as <hostname>_osinfo.txt

Gathering version information on HP

Collect the output of the following commands from each system involved in current problem determination:
(Keep the following commands in a script "osinfo.sh" and run the same as root using "ksh -x osinfo.sh")

echo '### uname -a' > osinfo.txt
uname -a >> osinfo.txt
echo '### swlist' >> osinfo.txt
swlist 2>&1 | tee -a osinfo.txt
echo '### ulimit -a' >> osinfo.txt
ulimit -a >> osinfo.txt

Rename the osinfo.txt to prefix the system name such as <hostname>_osinfo.txt

Gathering version information on Linux

Collect the output of the following commands from each system involved in current problem determination:
(Keep the following commands in a script "osinfo.sh" and run the same as root using "ksh -x osinfo.sh")

echo '### uname -a' > osinfo.txt
uname -a >> osinfo.txt
echo '### meminfo' >> osinfo.txt
cat /proc/meminfo >> osinfo.txt
echo '### cpuinfo' >> osinfo.txt
cat /proc/cpuinfo >> osinfo.txt
echo '### Linux release info' >> osinfo.txt
cat /etc/*lease >> osinfo.txt
echo '### ulimit -a' >> osinfo.txt
ulimit -a >> osinfo.txt

Rename the osinfo.txt to prefix the system name such as <hostname>_osinfo.txt

Gathering version information on Solaris

Collect the output of the following commands from each system involved in current problem determination:
(Keep the following commands in a script "osinfo.sh" and run the same as root using "ksh -x osinfo.sh")

echo '### uname -a' > osinfo.txt
uname -a >> osinfo.txt
echo '### prtconf' >> osinfo.txt
prtconf -v 2>&1 | tee -a osinfo.txt
echo '### ulimit -a' >> osinfo.txt
ulimit -a >> osinfo.txt

Rename the osinfo.txt to prefix the system name such as <hostname>_osinfo.txt

Gathering version information on Windows

Collect the output of the following commands from each system involved in current problem determination:
In a command prompt (cmd.exe) run the following command and provide the output file.

echo systeminfo > osinfo.txt
systeminfo >> osinfo.txt

Rename the osinfo.txt to prefix the system name such as <hostname>_osinfo.txt
