Listers,
Here is a little summary of commands to identify the bit version of an o/s
and 2 methods of identifying whether a database is a 32 bit or 64 bit
installation

Operating System

Compaq Tru 64  - will be 64 bit

HP-UX   /usr/sbin/swlist | grep -E '32|64' returns 
        HPUXEng64RT           B.11.00.01     English HP-UX 64-bit Runtime
Environment if 64 bit
Sun             isalist -v
If the return contains the phrase 'sparcv9' then it is a 64 bit o/s
Oracle Version
To check Oracle version - 2 methods
do a file on $ORACLEHOME/bin/oracle returns either ELF-32 or ELF-64
executable
Within sqlplus desc v$session and look for the definition of saddr (if
raw(4) then 32 bit else if raw(8) 64 bit)
