Find CPU Speed and Memory Size on Solaris

Find CPU Speed and Memory Size on Solaris

As I ' m writing my thesis I ' m running the tests on a old SMP Solaris machine. Obviously, I need to provide the specs of this machine in the paper so, the readers can, and I results in the context (ie Why everything is taking forever. On Linux I would just the use LSHW which the is your ultimate the hardware the information. If you don ' t have it on your system, go install it now. You'll thank me later.

The ancient Solaris machine I is working with did not have it, so I am forced to find other ways of finding such as CPU speed and memory size.

A can try Prtdiag–it'll tell you detailed information about all your CPU ' s and memory banks. Unfortunately it is in a weird directory this is isn't in your $path so you'll need to run it with the absolute path:

/usr/platform/sun4u/sbin/prtdiag-v

If you are just want information on the CPU ' s can also try:

Psrinfo-v

Finally, to just get your total memory the size do:

prtconf | grep Memory

There might be better ways todo This, but these worked for me. Craig would probably be able to the add to this list or correct me.
