Can anybody point out the basic difference between 11i ver 1.5 and 1.6. Both will not support PA RISC..right?

TIA

Actually, I think both 1.5 and 1.6 are Itanium only.

hp-ux 11i version 1.6 high availability

HP-UX 11i version 1.6 on the Intel Itanium architecture features the same single system and multi-system high availability capabilities and products as HP-UX 11i on PA-RISC.

You are right ! Both will not work on the PA-RISC family. Read this for more information on version 1.6 and 1.5:

Hi Shahul,

Correct 11i 1.5/1.6 or Itanium only.
Appears to me that 1.6 is targeted for the Itanium 2 processor & in 2003 will support up to 128 CPUs, 1 Tb of RAM & 4 Tb filesize/filesystem size.
Will have greater clustering & security features built-in. Run-time Linux support will also come next year. More dynamic kernel reconfig, to the point where reboots will be significantly less.
But the biggest change is pricing - HP will now charge on a per-processor basis ~ $3000/CPU.

Rgds,
Jeff
