You can install a laptop in a hp-ux server, linux or windows as a virtual machine onto a hp-ux server (or native on an Integrity) but hp-ux on a laptop - no way.

As mentioned above by Torsten.. HPUX can not be installed on Laptop.
It can be installed on HP9000 Series PARISC or Integrity server.. yes there are some PARISC based workstation too on which older version can be installed.

Hi

HP-UX is platform dependent OS. specific platform like PA-RISC or Itanium based is its home base. It has no release like Sun Solaris x86 version.

so no way man.

Hi,

I suppose that having Solaris on x86 put "a flea in the ears" to many people, so someone expects HP has released a HP-UX version for x86 too. It's not so.
HP-UX can be installed onto HP9000 PA-RISC, Integrity Servers and, just for 11.31, onto some kind of Blades.

Best regards,
Fabio

P.S.: in Italy "a flea in the ears" is a witty remark to say "something little is put in the mind of the people".

These are Integrity blades.

Dennis, I know that. I am just specifying the different kinds of machine where to install HP-UX, I know that Blades where installing HP-UX have Intel Itanium processors.

If we are trying to tell kacou that he needs either PA-RISC or Integrity, we shouldn't say "some kind" of Blades. Some could be x86, Solaris or IBM. :-)

I read this as "some kind of Blades", not
"all kinds of Blades".

> Some could be x86, Solaris or IBM.

No, those would not be "some", those would be
"other".

Thanks guys.
I'll formulate again the statement:

HP-UX 11.31 can be installed also onto the Integrity Blades listed into the following document:

www.hp.com/go/hpuxservermatrix

kacou, you can consider the above link to know all systems where HP-UX can be installed.

Best regards,

Hpux too? Sure?

I thought they are for Sparc - SUN .

But..anyway, don't think you have one of those.

Into a normal laptop, you cannot .

Is Google broken again? Or does a search for
tadpole hp-ux
find thousands of hints?

The only useful I found is this:

http://www.openpa.net/systems/index.html

"...Two portable PA-RISC computers were produced by third-party vendors (RDI/Tadpole and SAIC), closely based on the HP 712 and C132/C160L workstationsâ designs. ..."

Well, the 712 was nice too ... ;-)
