Entry #357: What mode is my Sun system booted in (32-bit or 64-bit)?

Question
What mode is my Sun system booted in (32-bit or 64-bit)?
Answer
To find out what mode a Sun Solaris system is booted in, 32-bit or 64-bit:

isainfo -b

This will return a string with either 32 or 64.

This command is only available from Solaris 7 onwards.
Solaris operating systems below Solaris 7 are 32-bit.
