Where to get HP-UX Core OS CD
We have several CDs, but they are all documentation or 'extra applications', etc.
Is there any way I could obtain a copy of this CD, maybe from one of you forumgoers or from HP themselves?
I understand that one needs a license to use HP-UX, but given that it only runs on HP hardware, and that the server in question was donated to us, I believe that the 'license' question is moot.
Thank you in advance for your replies.

Unofficially, someone may help, but you didn't hear that from me.

Re: Where to get HP-UX Core OS CD
I believe if you are truly a not-for-profit, HP has a program that would benefit you w/o cost. They have programs for educational institutions & home-based systems as well. The key being you're not going to use the systems to conduct a for-profit business.
I'd encourage you to contact your local HP office & inquire as to this/these programs if you are such. If not, I doubt you're going to get anybody to bite here. Good Luck
Rgds,
Jeff

Re: Where to get HP-UX Core OS CD
This server was donated to the Applied Research Labs, a building set up for research in several different clusters for local schools. This server was donated, appropriately, to the Data Communications cluster.
We have been trying to have the students work on this server to learn some Unix, or as close as they'll come to it as a class project of sorts.
We do not have a support contract, nor have I been able to get in touch with the company that donated this server for.
Jeff - Thanks for the lead, I will inquire to HP regarding the not-for-profit program.
I am not quite sure of the exact model number, I will know when I head out to the ARL tomorrow, but it's an HP 9000 K-Class with dual 200 MHz processors, 512 MB of RAM, and 20 of those hotplug 7200 RPM 4 GB SCSI drives in the front array. It also has a CD-ROM and tape drive in the front panel, with a single SCSI drive below those, which I assume is the boot device.
As far as I know it's a stock configuration, does anyone have an idea of which model number it could be? I know it's a very broad question to ask, and with minimal information, but worth a shot.

Re: Where to get HP-UX Core OS CD
If the company that donated the box did not supply you with the CD and the license (right to use), then the machine is no longer licensed and a new license and CD must be purchased. The license+CD will probably cost you more than purchasing another K-box on eBay, but if you contact the local HP office, they may be able to work something out.

Re: Where to get HP-UX Core OS CD
These can run either 32 or 64 bit versions of the OS.
you'll need to check the firmware level to see if it is uptodate.
If AUTOBOOT is on, you will receive the following message:
"Process is starting autoboot process
To discontinue, press any key within 10 seconds."
At this point, press ANY KEY within 10 seconds to interrupt the booting process.
The Main Menu is displayed. A prompt will appear
Enter the command "in".
Enter the command "fv"

Re: Where to get HP-UX Core OS CD
(option UM4 was for 11.0 on the same part number). No license to use is included.
The 11i v1 HP-UX Enterprise Operating Environement CD media is B7993AA with option UM9. No license to use is included
The 11i v1 HP-UX Mission Critical Operating Environment CD media is B7994AA with option UM9. Again, no license to use is included.
Licenses to use the OS are sold separately on a per CPU basis for 11i.

Re: Where to get HP-UX Core OS CD
I just found on E-bay an older HP-UX 11i Media kit that includes the core OS cds and Applications CDs.
Have a look here:
