Released in Facter 1.7.0 ---------------------------------------- Bug #16948: Facter hardwaremodel windows issue https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/16948#change-89619 * Author: Matt Parry * Status: Closed * Priority: Normal * Assignee: * Category: windows * Target version: 1.7.0 * Keywords: windows hardwaremodel architecture x64 x86 i386 i686 * Branch: https://github.com/puppetlabs/facter/pull/403 * Affected Facter version: 1.6.10 ---------------------------------------- Hi, Firstly I am ware of this fix https://github.com/puppetlabs/facter/commit/478386d24bb0d5c8494724d44f2e72c26ab4d4ff for windows to detect x64 architecture. This is tested on Facter ver:1.6.10 I found on one of my VMWare machines that it was setting Win32_Processor.Architecture = 9 (AMD64) when in fact it was Windows 2008 32Bit. From what I understand this value shows how the operating system interrupts the processor architecture but this should still show Win32_Processor.Architecture = 0 (INTEL) when a 32Bit OS is running on a 64Bit CPU. If this is true, then it leads me to believe it maybe a bug with VMWare and how it interprets the CPU? My question is, has this been highlighted previously and also I have been looking into the Win32_Processor class and see that AddressWidth could be a better candidate to detect 32/64 Bit OS's in facter? AddressWidth Data type: uint16 Access type: Read-only On a 32-bit operating system, the value is 32 and on a 64-bit operating system it is 64. This property is inherited from CIM_Processor. -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
