Okay thanks, I missed prtdiag it looks like the right tool. Now my question is what would you like reported for 'cpu_type' (a short description like i686 or x86 for Intel)?
Hmm, I'm not sure what Opteron will report - I'll check up on this tomoorow when the guys working on it are in.
That looks like 'sparcv9' is a candidate
sparcv9 is the ISA - see 'isainfo'. The particular CPU can run in either sparcv9 (LP64) mode or sparc (LP32) mode.
That looks like 'UtltraSPARC-IIe' is a candidate and the currently used 'sun4u?'
UltraSPARC-IIe is the CPU implementation, sun4u is the machine hardware class. You could see UltraSPARC-IIe in a different HW type.
