How to determine the Tru64 UNIX version referred to in uname?

Description

What is the Tru64 UNIX version referred to in uname?

"/usr/bin/uname -a" output does not give Tru64 UNIX Version.

Step-by-step guide

Use "/usr/bin/sizer -v" output to find version or reference the last bootup in /var/adm/message log file or reference table below

Examples

"uname" output only shows V4.0 1530

# /usr/bin/uname -a
OSF1 ask03u07 V4.0 1530 alpha

Use "sizer" to find version, in this case: Digital UNIX V4.0G

# /usr/sbin/sizer -v
Digital UNIX V4.0G (Rev. 1530); Thu Mar 24 14:23:40 EST 2011

Extract from latest entries in /var/adm/message log file:

Dec 30 09:32:55 ask03u07 vmunix: Alpha boot: available memory from 0x166c000 to 0x1fffc000
Dec 30 09:32:55 ask03u07 vmunix: Digital UNIX V4.0G (Rev. 1530); Thu Mar 24 14:23:40 EST 2011
