Abstract
The following articles presents several ways to determine the system Kernel Width.
Using the getconf command
You can use getconf command.
# getconf KERNEL_BITS 64
Using the file command
You can check the current vmunix kernel file using the file command.
# file /stand/vmunix /stand/vmunix: ELF-64 executable object file - PA-RISC 2.0 (LP64)
Using the print_manifest
You can use the bundle Ignite-UX "print_manifest" command to obtain the OS mode.
# /opt/ignite/bin/print_manifest | grep "OS mode"
OS mode: 64 bit
Using SAM Interface
SAM interface can also be used to obtain the information.
Select Performance Monitors -> System Properties -> Operating System and check the OS Kernel Width: value.

NOTE: HP-UX 11i v2 and HP-UX 11i v3 is only supported on 64 bit platforms, then on this Operating Environments the kernel will always run in 64 bit mode.
