RX2620 - Which release version of HPUX 11i v2 do I need

Eric Firkey — Tue, 06 Jul 2010 15:11:39 GMT

I am trying to install HPUX 11i v2 release Oct 2003 on my RX2620 and I am getting a PERFMON: unrecognized processer family! error and then the install hangs. Do I need a more current release of HPUX? The system will have 2 1.4GHz DC processors (AD122A). Thank you for any help.

Hi,

you should use the June 2008 HP-UX 11i v2 DVD release, or HP-UX 11i v3.

The Oct 2003 release is the most current release I currently have? Do you know the part number of these current releases so that I can find them?

Even the old RX2620 may have the dual core Montecito CPU or other older CPU models. Minimum release is june 2006.

So use the latest release, 2003 is just too old!

Hi Eric:

If you have a support contract then you can order new installation Operating Environment media via SUM (Software Update Manager). In that way your installation and configuration will be up-to-date with the latest features.

Shalom,

It is a very bad idea to install an OS release that old on this system. Clearly it won't work.

My recollection is that HP-UX 11.23 (11iv2) must be newer than September of 2006 ti install on that hardware.

The OS requirements are listed on http://docs.hp.com

However, I have a further wrench to put in the works.

The End of Life Date for this OS is December 2013. That is in a little over two years.

If your chosen application for the server can handle HP-UX 11.31 (11iv3) you might be much better off in the long run.

Either choice, I recommend you use the latest possible OS release.

Is there any way to purchase it if you do not have a support contract?

If you don't have support contract, you have not right to use the current version of HP-UX.
The simplest way to get right to use and media is to order HP-UX 11i v3 Base OE for the number of cores in rx2620 and the DVD media.
