Hello,

The print_manifest command will show this at the top:

# print_manifest |more

or

# getconf KERNEL_BITS

Hope this helps

1) this will tell the system version:
# getconf KERNEL_BITS
2) You need to first make sure that the system supports 64bit OS. Then if required you can use the upgrade option or go for a fresh install.

I am not sure you can "switch" between 32 and 64 bit persay, but depending on your OS, 10.20(32 bit only), 11.00(32 or 64 bit), or 11i(64 bit only), will determine this.

Hi,

1. 'getconf KERNEL_BITS' will return whether you are running 32- or 64-bit.

2. 'getconf HW_32_64_CAPABLE' will show whether your processor is 64-bit capable or not.

3. To find the processor speed (MHz):

# echo itick_per_usec/D | adb -k stand/vmunix /dev/mem

Ramesh:

You will get print_manifest command only if you have Ignite_UX installed on the system. If installed, then check here:
# /opt/ignite/bin/print_manifest

You will get the answer for your question from here:
# getconf KERNEL_BITS

Hi,
You can install Ignite-UX from your HP Application CDs. It's free! After have Ignite-UX installed on your system, you can use "print_manifest" in /opt/ignite/bin/.
It's really a good tool!

Hi:

When you runIgnite's 'make_tape_recovery', the manifest will be generated automatically for you. There there is no need to explicitly run 'print_manifest'. The most current manifest will be:

# /var/opt/ignite/recovery/latest/manifest

Regards!
