Resolution

To determine what mode the HP-UX 11 system is running in use the following O/S command:

getconf KERNEL_BITS.

If this command is run on a 64bit HP-UX 11.x system, the output will state 64.
If the command is run on a 32bit HP-UX 11.x system, the output will state 32.
If run on an HP-UX release other than 11.x (i.e. a 32bit O/S), the O/S will return that KERNEL_BITS is an unknown option.
