To install from the CD, simply load the CD in the drive, then go to smitty
installp, select /dev/cd0 as the source, then select bos.64bit from the list
of available software. bos.64bit should be on CD 1, but if it is not you
should be prompted to mount the correct CD.
Alternatively, you can do it at the command line:
installp -c -d /dev/cd0 -g bos.64bit
You could also add the "-p" flag to do a preview, first.
I don't think you'll need to reboot just for that, although you will, of
course, when you want to use it.

If bos.64bit is not installed, you do not have the /etc/methods/cfg64 file. Without the /etc/methods/cfg64 file, you will not have the option of enabling or disabling the 64-bit environment via SMIT, which updates the inittab with the load64bit line (simply adding this line does not enable the 64-bit environment). The command lslpp -l bos.64bit will reveal if this fileset is installed. The bos.64bit fileset is on the 4.3.x media, however, installing it does not ensure that you will be able to run 64-bit software. With the bos.64bit fileset installed on non 64-bit hardware, you should be able to compile your 64-bit software; however, you will not be able to run 64-bit programs on your 32-bit hardware. --- I would also like to know how to install that bos.64bit fileset from the cdrom, any step-by-step? Do I need to reboot? Thanks for all!

I don't think that there is a SMIT option. The bos.64bit base fileset (5.1.0.0) will be on your installation CDs. You'll need to install that before you can update it to the latest level. -- Simon Green Altria ITSC Europe s.a.r.l.

We are in the process of upgrading to Oracle 9.2.0 which is 64bit only for AIX5L What is the easiest way for doing this? I'm also missing the fileset bos.64bit which I believe is needed and mandatory for doing this. The file /etc/methods/cfg64 does not exist, how can I get this plackage installed? From smit I can't find the opcion to change to a 64bit kernel. Any special recommendations about the whole situation?
