Hi Ahmed,

The machine is ready for 64 bits.

To make it completely ready for 64 bits, you cannot use any EISA device(s) on your D-class.

After that, you need to re-install HP-UX 11.00 64 bits on the system.

Hope this information can help you.

Cheers,
AW

Shalom Ahmed,

There is no upgrade path.

Cold operating system installation, followed by all your applications.

Use the most recent HP-UX possible, because older versions will not recognize the NIC card in 64 bit mode.

I would recommend 11i V1 if at all possible. The June 2005 or later Core OS release will recognize all NIC cards properly.

Ahmed,
or , if feel daring, you could use the /usr/sbin/update-ux ,but make sure you have a valid backup before you start.
