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:

Note - The appliance must have at least 6 GB of memory for this to work.

1. Configure the kernel edition:

   set edition default 64-bit

2. Save the changes:

   save config

3. Reboot:

   reboot

To see which edition Gaia is running:

• In the Gaia Portal:

  Click System Overview pane. The edition shows in the System Overview widget.

• In the Gaia Clish, run:

  show version os edition

Changing Gaia Kernel Edition

Description

Gaia automatically starts in the 32-bit kernel edition after an upgrade and on Open Servers that have less than the minimum RAM as described in the Release Notes. You can change the Gaia kernel edition to 32-bit or 64-bit.

Syntax

set edition {32-bit | 64-bit}

To make sure the edition change persists after reboot, run save config. For example:

gaia> set edition 64-bit   gaia> save config   gaia> reboot

Note - If the computer or appliance cannot support 64-bit, the command will not let you choose 64-bit.
