Is there a 10 Gbit network adapter available for an rx8640 running HP-UX 11.23?
If so can someone post a link of it for me?

Thanks

Yes there is a 10GbE network adapter
available which is AB287A.

Take a look at the support matrix at

There's a new Interface in Town, and its name is AD385A. It is a PCI-X 2.0 266 MHz NIC as opposed to the AB287A/AD144A being a 1.0 133 MHz.

That means the hardware is theoretically capable of "link-rate" 10 GbE operation whereas the AB287A/AD144A was limited to at _best_ 7.X Gbit/s with enough CPU oomph and tailwind behind it.

Of course, to get the benefits of the AD385A one has to have a PCI-X 2.0 266 MHz slot to plug it into...
