- Issue the following command on the RSA Authentication Manager primary or replica instance(s) where the platform needs to be identified:
rsaadmin@am82p:~> cat /opt/rsa/am/etc/platform
- If the platform is an RSA SecurID hardware appliance, the following output is provided:
rsaadmin@am82p:~> cat /opt/rsa/am/etc/platform hardware
- If the server is a virtual appliance, the following output is provided:
