How to find processor architecture in Intel EMT64 machine with Solaris 10 ?

Hi,

Can anyone please help me to find a command in Solaris 10 by which I
can get the processor architecture.
For example, If it is an AMD 64 bit opteron then the command

"isainfo -k"
will display "amd64"

What is the command to find out the architecture is Solaris 10 is
installed on Intel 64 bit ?
What is the output of "isainfo -v" , "isainfo -k" for Intel 64 bit
machine?

Thanks and Regards

Should be exactly the same. EM64T is just Intel's implementation of
AMD64, therefore Sun probably just calls the architecture generically
AMD64. That's no different than when you see "i386" as the architecture
when running from 32-bit Solaris, when running it on an AMD processor,
or even on any Intel processor produced after the 386 -- it just
represents the generic compatibility model.

Hi,
I am sorry, I could'nt get the specific answer I was looking for.

Let me explain the situation:
I have 2 machines, one is Intel 64 bit and other is AMD 64 bit. Both
have Solaris 10 installed.
I want to write a single Unix Shell script, which performs different
actions in each of the machines.
So I need to have the checking done in my Shell script to find that
whether the script is being executed in an Intel 64 bit machine or an
AMD 64 bit machine.
I currently have AMD 64 bit machine but I don't have Intel 64 bit
machine. So I was wondering, if anyone could help me to find a single
command which would show me the difference corresponding to the
architecture.
So I thought of using the isainfo -k command. But as I don't have the
Intel machine, i don't know the output of the command in Intel 64 bit
machines.


Thanks

My previous response to you is accurate -- therefore it still stands.
Take it or leave it. You're not going to find any differences between
AMD64 and EM64T -- they are different names for the same thing. The
only way you're going to get your shell script to do something
different between the AMD or Intel machine is to give them different
names, and check for their name in the script.
