Symptoms
uname -a or uname -i on a Starcat platform can be confusing.

"uname -a" or "uname -i" run on Sun Fire[TM] 12K (SF12K), Sun Fire[TM] 20K (20K)
and Sun Fire[TM] 25K (SF25K) domains reports platform name as Sun-Fire[TM] 15000,
such as in the following example:

 % uname -a
SunOS  dmnk02 5.9 Generic_117171-17 sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Fire-15000

This can be confusing.

Resolution

This is OK since platform implementation is not different between SF12/20/25K
and Sun Fire 15K (SF15K) as far as Solaris [TM] is concerned.

One way to check system name is to run the following commands:

 % prtconf -vp
System Configuration:  Sun Microsystems  sun4u
Memory size: 122880 Megabytes
System Peripherals (PROM Nodes):

 Node 0xf0029598
boot-retained-page:
clock-frequency:  08f092ea
stick-frequency:  00beb6e8
banner-name:  'Sun Fire E20K'
...

 %prtdiag -v
System Configuration:  Sun Microsystems  sun4u Sun Fire E20K
System clock frequency: 150 MHz
Memory size: 122880 Megabytes

...
