Solaris Tips

To find out the architecture

[root@solaris / ]# /usr/bin/isainfo -kv
64-bit amd64 kernel modules

Verifying if a patch is applied or not

/usr/sbin/patchadd -p grep patch_number(without version number)

Top like tool prstat

By default, prstat lists the processes running on a system, sorted by CPU
utilization. Number of LWPs per process appears following a "/" after the process name in the last column.

The prststat -L output shows each LWP for a multi-threaded process.

The prstat -m output includes the percentage of time a process spends in system traps, text page faults, data page faults, waiting for user locks, and waiting for CPU time.

The prstat -t output lists the CPU and memory resource usage summary for each user.
