Hi,

I want to install Hpux 11.11 on J6750 server.
When i run "getconf KERNEL_BITS" i get 64.

Can i install the OS to be 32bit?

How do i do that?

Shalom,

All that is on the box must be destroyed with a cold install.

It is possible.

Not possible. The J6750 is a 64-bit machine only. Use this command to verify your workstation's capability:

getconf HW_CPU_SUPP_BITS

Here is another reference for recent workstations:

HP has not manufactured 32bit-capable HP-UX workstations or servers for several years. Note that the majority of well-behaved 32bit programs will run without any problems in the 64bit OS.
