E450 SPARC 64-bit

Yes.64-bit.

The UltraSPARC-II cpu modules are native 64-bit architecture.

Solaris 7 and newer would install a 64-bit kernel on that platform by default.

Solaris 8 and newer do not have 32-bit-only kernels,

but have a 32-bit compatibility innate to them, that they can run

well behaved 32-bit applications in their 64-bit environments.

Match your version of your database software to the

appropriate version of Solaris.
