version currently running on your system?

When speaking in an Oracle Support Engineer, you are asked to verify the version of the Solaris
11 build currently running on your system. Which command would display the Solaris 11 build
version currently running on your system?

A.
pkg info all

B.
cat /etc/release

C.
cat /etc/update

D.
prtconf | grep �i update

E.
pkg info entire

Explanation:
Which Solaris release you are running on your system can be determined
using the following command:
cat /etc/release
This will tell you which release you are running and when it was released.
The more recent your system, the more info is contained in this file.
Example:
# cat /etc/release
Oracle Solaris 10 8/11 s10s_u10wos_17b SPARC

E is check software package. not solaris 11. hence i think b is the only correct answer

david

david

if another choice is :

pkg info kernel (Is this the right answer?)

Armen

Armen

I think yes, this should be the right answer.
Solaris 11 build is in output of pkg info kernel command:

Are there any differences between “pkg info kernel” and “pkg info entire” to determine “solaris 11 build”?

John

John

E is the most likely answer as this is a Solaris 11 command which will list Solaris build information as part of the output. Although cat /etc/release will show Solaris release version information it’s a pre Solaris 11 command. I would think we are expected to use the more up to date command and the question specifically states ‘build version’.

I think E is correct.

Example (Solaris 11.2):
