Re: Install RHAS 32bit on 64bit processor BL460c G6 E5506
You can install 32 bit operating systems in Xion based servers .
But this 32 Bit operating system will only support 4GB memory (theoretically, actual support from 2.8GB to 3.2 GB)
Please find the following link to verify Linux support.
http://h18004.www1.hp.com/products/servers/linux/hplinuxcert.html
You cannot see RHAS in the list, since HP is testing only Enterprise server versions on their servers.
I hope this will support RHAS also. (version specific)

Re: Install RHAS 32bit on 64bit processor BL460c G6 E5506
but reagding the Max Memory size
Theoretically i can have 64 GB of memory on Linux 32 bit systems. But in this case we will have to upgrade the RH Kernel to support "high memory" which allow additional physical memory (more than 4GB) to be mapped.
do you have any idea if thier is any success story about it.
i will use RHEL 4 Update 8 32bit
thanks

But fact is that, 64-bit OS is more robust than 32-bit OS in case if the server is used for Oracle server.

Re: Install RHAS 32bit on 64bit processor BL460c G6 E5506
You are in a more flexible situation if you install the 64 bit OS. Almost every major application is supported.
But if you install a 32 bit RHEL, there are no driver impacts or any realistic memory limits to worry about. 16 GB of ram is probably the top practical limit.
If you need more, go 64 bit.

64 bit OS has excellent 32 bit emulation. I really think you should try it out in the lab.
