So, as a follow up to this, I have talked to MOS on a SR about this. There response was that they (Oracle) will not support the installation of the 32bit grid control software via a 32bit OS (Windows) onto a 64 bit machine. They only thing they will support is to install the 32bit GC software via a 32bit OS (Windows) onto a 32bit hardware base.  

I then asked them what are new customers for Grid Control suppose to do when 32bit hardware is no longer available? We're a Dell shop and there is currently no server that I've found available on their systems page that is NOT 64 bit. Under normal circumstances, a 32 bit application should work just fine on a 64 bit hardware base with a 32bit OS loaded.  

Are we having fun yet?

Subject: Grid Control hardware  

Is anyone running 11G Grid Control using Windows 2008 (32bit) on a 64 bit machine?  

When we bought our new box 7 months ago with the plan to install 10g grid control, I could find nothing that indicated you could not run the 32bit software on a 64 bit machine.  

However, I'm now moving straight to 11g and there is an installation note that says the 32bit software must only be installed on a 32 bit machine.  

Just curious if anyone runs the 32/64 setup. Opend a SR to confirm what appears to be a new change in the process.  

Thanks
