Solaris doesn't install as 32-bit or 64-bit - it is a boot time decision. Even if you are running in 32-bit mode when you install a domU (or a dom0, for that matter), the resulting domain will be capable of booting into either 32-bit or 64-bit mode. PV domains will boot into whichever mode dom0 is running. This is a limitation imposed by the Xen 3.0.4 hypervisor. If your dom0 is booted into 32-bit mode, HVM domains must also be booted as 32-bit. If your dom0 is booted into 64-bit mode, you can boot HVM domains as either 32-bit or 64-bit. By default, Solaris will boot into 32-bit mode in an HVM environment due to the way Xen reports CPU capabilities to GRUB. If you want to boot a 64-bit HVM domain, you will have to edit your menu.lst file. Simply replace each '$ISALIST' with 'amd64', and you should be all set.
