command to check machines bit numbers on HPUX

[shivakumara]

Hi
I wanted to know is my machine is 32 bit or 64 bit machine. Please get me any if there are any command which gives this information.

[RAC_1 · Accepted solution]

getconf KERNEL_BITS
file /stand/vmunix

[Mel Burslan]

getconf KERNEL_BITS
gives this information.

also you can see a 32 or 64 indicating your OS' bit width on the output of this command:
file /stand/vmunix

first method is my preferred way, personally.

Generic ways are,

# getconf KERNEL_BITS
64

# file /stand/vmunix
/stand/vmunix: ELF-64 executable object file - PA-RISC 2.0 (LP64)

# getconf HW_32_64_CAPABLE
1

I hope you have to use HW_CPU_SUPP_BITS to know specifically. HW_CPU_SUPP_BITS and KERNEL_BITS is related.

HW_32_64_CAPABLE decides whether platform is 32 or 64 bit.

# getconf HW_CPU_SUPP_BITS
64
#
# getconf HW_32_64_CAPABLE
1

hth.

From SAM
========
1) Goto Performance Monitors -> System Properties -> Operating System
2) check OS Kernel Width: value
