Choosing which OS for servers

BrianDoyle — Tue, 25 Sep 2007 11:02:13 GMT

Hi,

Trying to decide which HP-UX OS to install on a dozen or so new servers: DL380's, DL140's, BL460c's

Any comments or suggestions welcome.

im glad you said that cos i havent been able to find info about hpux running on those servers.
I thought that might be the case but preferred someone to point it out so thanks for that!

Im used to working with RP's not Proliants so Im gonna need some help to show me the options for the DL's and BL's.

I would think that would pretty much narrow it down to Linux or some Microslop offering.
