The isainfo command can be used to determine if a Solaris system has been configured to run in 32 or 64 bit mode.


Run the command

isainfo -v

If the system is running in 32 bit mode, you will see the following output:

32-bit sparc applications

On a 64 bit Solaris system, you’ll see:

64-bit sparcv9 applications
32-bit sparc applications

    bash-3.00# isainfo -kv
    64-bit amd64 kernel modules

    bash-3.00# isainfo -nv
    64-bit amd64 applications

    /usr/bin/isainfo -kv

    If your OS is 64-bit, you will see output like:

    64-bit sparcv9 kernel modules

    If your OS is 32-bit, you will get this output:

    32-bit sparc kernel modules
