32 or 64 bit HP-UX 11.11

[Paul Willder]

I have taken over an old HP system that is using hpux11.11, and I was asked if it is configured as 32 or 64 bit o/s, I know there is a command to get this but for the life of me I can not remember it. can anyone help.

Thanks.

Hi,

Use this command.

#getconf KERNEL_BITS

[T G Manikandan]

# getconf KERNEL_BITS - existing kernel
and
# getconf HW_32_64_CAPABLE - whether the server is capable of running
# getconf HW_CPU_SUPP_BITS - for CPU

[James R. Ferguson]

Hi Paul:

# getconf KERNEL_BITS

...will tell you the "bitness" of your current kernel, e.g. "64"

# getconf HW_CPU_SUPP_BITS

...will tell you the "bitness" your hardware will support, e.g. "32/64"

Regards!

Hi again,

You can also use this command..

#file /stand/vmunix

if PA-RISC 2.0 and above, then it is 64 bit
