Hi,

How could i know the processor architecture whether this is x86 or x86_64 ?
arch returns the architecture of the OS installed on the machine.
But what happened when i installed x86 dom0 on x86_64 machine, then arch and #uname -a as well as #xm info all shows. x86, but really the machine is x86_64.

Could anybody tell me how i can get the system information that this is x86_64 machine.

Is dmidecode helpful?
You can try cat /proc/cpuinfo , it will show you the CPU type and then you can look up whether it's a 32- or 64-bit CPU.
