Dual boot

Quyen Huynh_2 — Mon, 01 Nov 1999 08:17:13 GMT

I'm currently running HP-UX 10.20 on HP900-K360. Is it possible to install
another OS (e.g., HP-UX 10.01) on the same machine and make it dual booting?
Is there any instruction on how to make this happen?

Thanks.

So long as you have additional disks available, you can create as many boot
volumes as you wish. Simply build your 10.01 (or whatever) root volume on an
unused disk. You will probably then want to reboot, interrupt the boot, and
set your boot paths appropriately.

However, if you want to be able to access any of the LVM disks from your 10.20
system, there may be problems. I do not know whether you will be able to
import a VG created under 10.20 to an older version of the OS. It may work
smoothly, but I wuold definitely test the procedure thoroughly first.
