CS/AIX snadaemon and os kernel bit

[HeungKi,Kim]

hello, there. :-)

Well, I know that snadaemon bit(32 or 64) has been dependent on OS boot
kernel bit.
'bootinfo -K' is 32, then 'snadaemon' is startup.
'bootinfo -K' is 64, then 'snadaemon64' is startup.

Maybe... Can we change this?
that is to say... Can OS boot kernel 64bit has 'snadaemon'(32bit sna
process) process?
Can we start 32bit sna daemon on 64bit OS kernel?

thanks... :-)

No. Why do you want to do that?
Your applications can still be 32bit and
use the 64bit CS/AIX on a 64bit kernel.
CS/AIX does all the 32bit<-->64bit mapping for you.
Your applications should not know or care whether
parts of CS/AIX or AIX are 32bit or 64bit.

Summary:
on 32bit h/w you can only run 32bit kernel and 32bit applications
on 64bit h/w you can run a) 32bit kernel OR 64bit kernel
b) 32bit applications AND 64bit applications
in any combination of a) & b).
The OR and AND are significant.
