Yes, and I thought that's what you were asking about. We tried that on Owl systems because that's what we're using and what we're most familiar with (obviously), but a similar approach should work on RHEL as well. It's not a full upgrade to 64-bit - the host system remains mostly 32-bit. It's just enough of an upgrade to be able to run a 64-bit kernel (such as to use large amounts of RAM efficiently) and optionally 64-bit containers. > Our intention is to make a new 64 bit > installation on one of our cluster nodes, move VEs there step by step, > and at last do the same with the remaining one. That's a more "official" approach. Which one you choose depends on your experience and confidence in what you're doing and in your ability to troubleshoot and resolve possible issues. Also, a new install is obviously cleaner and "more complete", whereas having a mixed 32/64 host system is "hackish".
