					<description>If you run isainfo -n

and it reports

sparcv9

and isinfo -k

sparcv9

and isinfo -b

64

Then you can confirm that you are  running 64bit Solaris and apps.</description>

					<description>The problem is that uname will report what the operating systems is, not                                                           
what the hardware is. This is what I get when I run a 32bit rhel3as on

have a tool that can identify this without any doubt.</description>

					<description>Hello Dag,
Good too see ya comment... 

I am afraid; have ya tried the "lshw" (List Hardware) option. I installed it to get the 
hardware details.

http://dag.wieers.com/packages/lshw/_buildlogs/?S=D  :-)

Here is my output.
