SLE12 does not have a 32bit release. 64bit only.
Out of interest, is there a thought about PPC64 and ARMArch64 as offical release target for SLE (12 or later)
It usually has been the case that SLE was made available for ppc64, s390x and ia64. You just get to see it even less often than SLE-x86.
Let me add some more information: SLES 11 is released for x86, x86_64, s390x, ppc64, ia64. SLES 12 is released for x86_64, s390x, ppc64le. SLED 11 is released for x86, x86_64, SLED 12 is released for x86_64. (Note the Big Endian/Little Endian difference for Power) With regard to aarch64 - we are currently not planning to release it officially for SLE 12 GA, for future Service Packs it will depend on a few things. Never-the-less we made sure that submits of packages to SLE 12 during development did not break already building stuff for aarch64. I'm not sure how successfull we were with that, as dependencies and runtime issues may still occure, but we tried. We have a rule internally that new packages should work for all platforms. Exceptions are permitted, but they should be exceptions, not the rule. Especially in the desktop area this is sometimes problematic :( SLES itself has a 32bit runtime, but no 32bit-development.
