How to know if you are running 32- bit or 64- bit OS with Email Security Virtual appliance

To know if you are running a 32- bit OS or a 64-bit OS on your Virtual appliance there is a CLI command for that.

To get to the CLI follow the steps as below:

•  Download Putty from Internet.
•  Login to putty giving you ip address of email security server and port 22.
•  At the login prompt type “snwlcli”.
• Then type the admin username and password for the Web interface.
•  You should get a “SNWLCLI:>” prompt.
• Type "iostat" in the command prompt: SNWLCLI:>iostat.
• This will show the IO stats.
• _i686_ - means you are running a 32-bit OS.
   
  
  
• _x86_64_ means you are running 64-bit OS.
  

TIP: Tip : The other way of finding out the version is by navigating the URL to diag.html|System info page and look for OS, if it shows "amd64" which means it is a 64 bit VA and if it is "_i686_" which means it is an 32-bit appliance.
