I have SOLARIS 10 OS

SOLARIS OS was upgrade to new version as the following version - 144488-02

Example of OS version verification:

   uname -v
   Generic_144488-02

.

   uname -a
   SunOS star1a 5.10 Generic_144488-02 sun4v sparc SUNW,Netra-T5220

.

   cat /etc/release 
                   Solaris 10 5/09 s10s_u7wos_08 SPARC

                         Assembled 30 March 2009

How I can identify the SOLARIS version before OS upgrade?

I mean before the upgrade – uname –v show different version ,

but with which command or file I can find this info?

Perhaps try the

cat /etc/release

maybe that can give you an answer.

or uname -a

  • Looks like cat /etc/release gave you the answer, right? 5/09 is the version. Check [link]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solaris_(operating_system)#Version_history[/link] – Sverker84 Jan 09 '12 at 09:50
  • NO /etc/release not have the old version !!! , and uname -a give the same version -:( –  Jan 09 '12 at 09:51
  • Ok, you want to know what version solaris was before the upgrade, right? Maybe get /etc/release from a backup? – Sverker84 Jan 09 '12 at 10:07
  • /etc/release not give any data about the previos SOLARIS version –  Jan 09 '12 at 10:16
