# model
9000/800/A500-7X
Go to Google to find out whether 32 or 64 bits:
Search string like this > HP UX A500 site:www.hp.com/
2- Find your SW 32 OR 62 bit;
# swlist | grep -i hpuxbase
HPUXBase64 B.11.11 HP-UX 64-bit Base OS
HPUXBaseAux B.11.11.0312 HP-UX Base OS Auxiliary
# getconf KERNEL_BITS
64
3- Finally, if you need to update from 32-bit OS to a 64-bit OS.
CD-ROM: /usr/sbin/update-ux -s /cdrom -a 64
DVD: /usr/sbin/update-ux -s /dvdrom -a 64
Solved! Go to Solution.

Solution# getconf KERNEL_BITS
64
Depending on the server/OS combination the oldest models were 32bit, some older can do either 32 or 64, but nowadays everything is 64bit.
Hope this helps!

Torsten.

Re: HP-UX 32 or 64 Bit Check for HW and SW
getconf HW_CPU_SUPP_BITS
32/64
This response indicates that trhe hardware suports both versions of the OS. All the modern systems will respond like this:
getconf HW_CPU_SUPP_BITS
64
which means it is impossible to install a 32bit OS on this hardware.
To see exactly which version of the OS you are running:
getconf KERNEL_BITS
64
So this machine is running a 64bit OS.
