Hi All,
Thanks for the instant replies. I received lot of responses
and most of them referred to performing "boot cdrom -sv" and
some executing "uname -a".
It looks like the Solaris 2.6 CD-ROM which we have is very
old. The release info is given below.
Solaris 2.6 s297s_smccServer_37cshwp SPARC
Copyright 1996 Sun Microsystems, Inc. All Rights Reserved.
Manufactured in the USA 18 July 1997
The above information was obtained from the contents of
file release in the CDROM SUNWsolnm/reloc/etc/release.
But please note that the above release is OS release info
and not kernel release. I tried showrev command after
performing boot cdrom -sv. But it gave error saying that
ld.so.1: libadmapm.so.2 no such file or directory.
Once again thanks to Satinder,LRHAZI,Larry Garrett,Tim Evans,
Richard Hogg, Bertrand_Hutin.
Regards
R.Suresh Kumar
