pSeries 650. So yes, it should be a 64 bit machine running in a 64 bit
environment.

ROOT@servera P650#:/home/joycew[PROD]> ls -al /unix
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root system 21 Nov 12 14:59 /unix ->
/usr/lib/boot/unix_64
ROOT@servera P650#:/home/joycew[PROD]> bootinfo -K
64
ROOT@servera P650#:/home/joycew[PROD]> env | grep OBJ
OBJECT_MODE=64
ROOT@servera P650#:/home/joycew[PROD]> lslpp -L | grep bos | more
   bos.64bit 5.2.0.1 C F Base Operating System
64 bit

Did I miss anything?
