WebSphere 6.0.1 introduces a 64bit JVM for (AFAIK) the first time for WebSphere. It also comes in the standard 31bit flavour. The 64bit JVM is NOT supported on zSeries.
So, you can run the 31bit version of WAS6.0.1 on your SLES 9 SP1 64 bit OR 31bit guest. We are currently running SLES9 SP1 31bit with WAS 6.0.1 31bit > -----Original Message----- > From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf > Of Peter E.
