Dual boot Hp-ux 11.00 vs 11.11 and vice versa

[Sergej Kleva]

Hello gurus :)
I'm interestring if there is a way to install both HP-UX 11.11 and HP-UX 11.00 on the same 35GB SCSI disc ?
If there is a way ... can you give me a reference or description of procedure?

Thanks to all!
Best regards,
Sergej Kleva

What server you have?
It is possible only on multi partition servers like RP7400.
If you have one
press B , enter MP prompt see help to get more knowledge about the same.
You can switch between the partitions while boots and select the OS which you want to boot with.

Hi,

Take look @ this. I think u might have heard about vpars...

HP-UX Virtual Partitions (vPars) is now available for the HP rp8400, HP rp7410, HP rp7405, HP Superdome, HP rp5405/rp5470/L3000, and HP rp7400/N4000 servers. vPars enables multiple instances of the HP-UX 11i Operating Environment (OE) to run simultaneously on one server with each OE instance hosting its own set of applications in a isolated environment. This version replaces earlier versions of Virtual Partitions.

no, its not possible on a single disk - even using vpars! get yourself another disk.
