Comments

If the Gaia appliance has more than 4 GB of memory, it automatically boots to the 64-bit edition. Otherwise, it boots to the 32-bit edition.
If you upgrade and the appliance has more than 4 GB, the appliance boots to the 32-bit edition. You can configure Gaia to automatically boot to the 64-bit edition.
To configure Gaia to automatically boot to the 64-bit edition:
- Run
set edition default 64-bit - Run
save config - Reboot
|
Note - The appliance must have at least 6 GB of memory for this to work.
|
To see which edition is running:
- Go to the WebUI pane. The edition shows in the widget.
or
- Run:
show version os edition
|
Changing System Edition
Gaia automatically starts in the 32 bit edition after an upgrade and for open servers that have less than the minimum RAM as described in the Release Notes.
You can change the system to 32-bit or 64-bit using the set edition command.
Syntax
|
set edition {32-bit | 64-bit}
|
To make sure the edition change persists after reboot, run save config. For example:
set edition 64-bit
save config
reboot
|
Note - If the computer or appliance cannot support 64-bit, the command will not let you choose 64-bit.
