AIX 32 bit/64 bit Kernel Support


While installing AIX 5L you can choose a 32-bit or 64-bit Kernel.

Both 32bit and 64 bit kernel supports JFS2 (filesystem that allows to handle very large files).

  • ok. now Question is on AIX how would you know if your p-series server supports 32bit/64 bit kernel ? Answer is :

bootinto -y tells you Hardware is enabled for 32bit/64 bit applications

  • bootinfo -K gives you interger value 32 or 64
  • svmon -P <process-ID> will let you know if runnig process is 32 or 64 bit
