sun cluster

32 or 64 bit MySQL

Recently, I wanted to confirm that I was running the 64 bit version of the MySQL server as opposed to the 32 bit version.

The Sun Webstack installation comes with both versions and if you use the built in SMF service, the difference between using the 32 bit version or 64 bit version is controlled by a flag in the service properties.

I, however, was not using the built in service, but rather using Sun Cluster to start the server.
