RE: AIX 5L - what is it?

Title: Message

5L is the designation for "Linux affinity".  The output of 'oslevel -r' will tell you your release and maintenance level.  For example, 5100-02 means you're running AIX 5L 5.1 maint level 02.   The reason there are two different downloads is that 64-bit code is OS dependant; 64-bit 4.3.x code is NOT binary compatible with the 5.x 64-bit operating environment.  All 32-bit code is compatible.   Rich -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Vladimir Barac Sent: Monday, March 31, 2003 8:58 AM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Subject: AIX 5L - what is it? Hello to everyone   I see two options for 9i download at "technet" site - "AIX" and "AIX based 5L systems".   What does that difference mean?   How do I find out whether server is one or the other?   Thanks,   Vladimir Barac
