Article #26521: Node ID Guide
Node ID Guide
This page is intended to help users figure out what their machine's Node Id is without having to install InterBase on it first. The platforms listed are for V3 of InterBase and may not be available under V4.
Another alternative is to download this Bourne Shell Script to run on the machine in question. It will print out the correct node id.
InterBase Supported Platforms
- Sun Solaris 2.x
- At the OS Shell prompt type: hostid
- Hewlett-Packard HP-UX 9.x and 10.x
- At the OS Bourne Shell prompt type:
tmp_node=`uname -i`; node=`echo "obase=16;${tmp_node}" | bc`;
If the machine is a HP 9000/4XX machine then cut off the first two characters, i.e. 00721032 becomes 721032.
- IBM AIX 3.X
- At the OS Bourne Shell prompt type:
tmp_node=`uname -m`; node=`echo "obase=16;${tmp_node}" | bc`; echo ${node};
- SunOS 4.1.3, 4.1.4
- At the OS Shell prompt type: hostid
- SCO UNIX 3.2.4.2, SCO Open Server Release 5.0
- The node id is always: 0
- Data General DG-UX Aviion
- At the OS Bourne Shell prompt type: hostid
- SGI IRIX
- At the OS Bourne Shell prompt type:
tmp_node=`/etc/sysinfo -s`; node=`echo "obase=16;${tmp_node}" | bc`; echo ${node}
- Apollo Domain
- At the OS Bourne Shell prompt type:
/com/lcnode -me | awk '/node is/ {print $8}' | sed -e 's/.//'
- DEC MIPS Ultrix
- InterBase uses an ethernet id for this machine so it can not be determined until InterBase is loaded.
- Motorola 88K
- At the OS Shell prompt type: hostid
- Motorola IMP
- The node id is always: 0
- Motorola Delta
- The node id is always: 0
- NextStep on Intel
- At the OS Bourne Shell prompt type:
hostid | sed -e 's/^0x//'
- Novell UNIXware 1.x
- The node id is always: 0
