Re: Installation error

Well, this OS version is probably since 15 years out of support or so.


"utility requires more memory than is configured"


This is IMHO a very clear message.




Do you really need such ooooold version?

Hope this helps!

Torsten.

Re: Installation error

Shalom,

HP-UX 9.04 won't run on that hardware.

It is impossible.

You can run 10.20, 11.00 and maybe 11.11 on that hardware assuming the firmware is up to date.

Why would you install this version of HP-UX?

Re: Installation error

Just checked, minimum release for this server was 10.x - even for this old server.

Hope this helps!

Re: Installation error

Few days before, one of our old server running hp-unix 9.04 crashed. Business critical aplication resides on it and it is totally down.

So I thought to install ver 9.04 on hp 9000 K 400 model. Is it impossible?

Can anybody help me to find out the resolution and cause of below error.

utility requires more memory than is configured and after installer aborts.

Re: Installation error

You obviously need a similar server than the broken one.



There was 15 years time to think about a move to more current hardware and OS, would you agree?

Hope this helps!

Torsten.
