Thanks, Phil and Bill. I'm currently leaning toward staying with 32-bit. -John

Hi John, We are building on that platform but have not deployed to production yet. 64-Bit RHEL 6 VMWare 140+ users The issue I had was that I was wanting to deploy the Microsoft ODBC Driver Manager and driver for Linux which is only 64-bit, and so while I got it working in isolation on the Linux box well, I could not link it to Universe as like you say it is only 32-bit. You could use another 32 bit Manager and driver.

Hi all, I'm planning to upgrade our UV installation later this year primarily due to the age of the hardware (it's just over 5 years old). We aren't having any serious performance problems. We're currently running UV 10.2.7 on RedHat EL 5.1 32-bit and typically max out around 100 concurrent users. Since I probably won't upgrade again for another 5 years, I'd like to make the upgrade as future-proof as possible. Because UV is still a 32-bit app, though, I'm wondering if there is any real-world benefit to switching to 64-bit RedHat when I upgrade. I know the 64-bit kernel will remove the 4GB memory ceiling, but AFAIK, there is also a special 32-bit kernel for that. We also link UV to MS SQL via a 3rd party ODBC driver and accept JDBC and UOJ connections. I have to make sure that functionality isn't broken, and I recall someone recently posting that a 64-bit OS broke ODBC for them. Is anyone else successfully using ODBC, JDBC, and UOJ with 64-bit linux? Can anyone point out any advantages to running UV on a 64-bit OS?
