ASA 9.02 on AMD's Opteron

Hi,
I installed ASA 9.02 on an Opteron machine. How can i check
if it realy runs on 64 Bit?

Sybase Central displays :
NativeProcessorArchi
tecture = IA64
ProcessorArchitectur
e = X86

ProcessorArchitectur
e shows that you are running an executable built for
32-bit X86. That's built in at compile time.

NativeProcessorArchi
tecture really reports IA64? That should only happen
on Itanium and could indicate a problem with the processor detection
code. Could you please posts the contents of /proc/cpuinfo as well as
your exact ASA build number?

Thanks,
-john.

how can i get a X86_64 version which runs at 64 Bit on
AMD's Opteron ?

Mark Culp wrote at 7.2.2005 in this NG that 9.0.2 will support X86_64 !

thanks ,

The Linux x86, Linux x86_64, and Linux ia64 software was released to
manufacturing
a few weeks ago. I do not know when it will show up in eshop? (I see that the
x86_64
s/w is not yet an option.)

You could try calling iAnywhere Sales to get more information by calling the
number listed on this page: http://www.ianywhere.com/company/contact.html
