What version of RHEL are you using? If you aren't running a current 64-bit system, such as an older 32-bit system with extended memory support, then you may be limited to 32GB. IE, install a current RHEL (or clone such as CentOS) x86_64 version. The 64-bit OS can handle both 64-bit as well as 32-bit software, so you should be ok as far as running legacy code is concerned, though occasionally there may be shared library issues.

am using RHEL 6 with 64 bit system. I want to be able to make the RHEL 6 see the entire 96GB without having to reinstall the OS.

There may be a BIOS configuration issue, or the memory is not properly installed. RHEL 6 should see all of the RAM without problems.

I think there was a problem with the system when it was initially displaying 32GB RAM when RHEL 6 was being installed and now after opening and cleaning the system, the system is now seeing the 96GB installed but RHEL 6 installation was already completed with 32GB, how do i now make RHEL 6 see the entire 96GB RAM without having to re-install the OS?
