Is there an easy way to switch to 64bit? such as adding 86_64 repos and zypper --dup --allow-architecture-change (unfortunately this option doesn't exist)?
Not "easy way".
The way I did it is to use the DVD 64 bit image, boot the installer and choose "upgrade". The installer won't detect the 32bit image, unless you tell it to accept "unsupported" configuration (I don't remember the exact wording). Then, you'll be able to choose your 32bit partition.
This is totally unsupported, of course, but as I said, I was able to migrate some systems with this setup.
I have done that, too. The same way. I very much doubt you can use "zypper dup" to do it. I would not even try. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 13.1 x86_64 "Bottle" at Telcontar)
