I think I found a bug in determining the OS architecture for AIX systems. Has anyone else seen this?
The system I found the issue on is AIX 5300-12-02-1036 running IEM 9.0.787
The TEM processor inspector returns 64bit
Q: architecture of operating system
A: ppc64
However, if I run bootinfo from the OS it tells me it’s 32bit…
#bootinfo -K
32
Using the getconf command I can see the kernel_bitmode (OS) is 32bit and the hardware_bitmode (processor) is 64bit.
#getconf KERNEL_BITMODE
32
#getconf HARDWARE_BITMODE
64
So it appears that IEM is displaying the processor architecture instead of the OS architecture as it implies…
