How to check my Sun Solaris is 32-bit or 64-bit. I could not retrieve
the information by
using uname -a
Thanks.

How about "isainfo -v"?

As a rule of thumb, if you're running on 64-bit capable HW, you'll be running
the 64-bit kernel.  WHen in doubt, isainfo -b will confirm one way or another.

The Solaris 2 FAQ has that info...

http://www.science.uva.nl/pub/solaris/solaris2.html#q3.70
3.70) How can I tell whether I'm running a 32 or 64 bit kernel?

The command "isainfo" was provided for precisely that reason;

64% isainfo -kv
64-bit sparcv9 kernel modules

32% isainfo -kv
32-bit sparc kernel modules

amd64% isainfo -kv
64-bit amd64 kernel modules

Solaris 2.6 and earlier releases are always 32 bit and lack the
"isainfo" command.

Unfortunately, I don't have the command isainfo in my system, any
alternative way I can check
the kernel bit?
Thanks

If you don't have "isainfo" on your system, you are running
Solaris 2.6 or earlier and consequently you run it in 32 bit mode.

Does the bottom of that post apply to your system (you didn't say which
OS you were using)?
