Virtualization (HPVM) requires hp-ux 11.23 or 11.31.

This server is a PA-RISC processor based machine.
Therefore it CANNOT run:
nPars
vPars
Integrity Virtual Machines.
And the OS is wy out of supprot anyway.

It's an Old rusty box, spend some money and get a new one which you can virtualize.

This one you can not, regarding application they can be made compatible to run on a new virtualized server (what application its running?)

Virtualisation is nothing but splitting up the machine that you have into smaller pieces. You don't have enough processors or memory to accomplish anything useful with a virtual partition. The virtual machine manager requires additional CPU cycles to keep the partitions separated and assigned to the right network card and virtual disk space. HP-UX 10.20 has been out of support for more than 10 years, long before any virtual-anything existed.

If you need another machine that runs 10.20, there are plenty of D-class boxes on eBay.

IMHO there are 2 possible questions:

- can this d-class do virtualization?
NO.

- can a virtual server run 10.20?
NO.

Virtual servers (HPVM) can run 11.23 or 11.31, maybe your application can work on this.

Thank you very much for all your cracking reply.

The application running on this machine is
INFORMIX -OL v5
