Oracle 10g + hpux 11.31 or 11.23 ???

[Grayh]

On Page 30 of the following document says that

HP-UX 11i v2 (11.23) or later is supported with Oracle 10g.

http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/install.102/b25293.pdf

Which means that I can Install Oracle 10g on HPUX 11.31..

Please correct me if I am wrong.

This is with referance to the below thread

Hi:

Well:

"Starting with Oracle Database 10g release 2 (10.2.0.2), in addition to the supported operating systems listing in the installation guide, HP-UX 11i v3 (11.31) is supported."

...which comes from:

http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/relnotes.102/b25292/toc.htm

Regards!

I have already installed several oracle 10g/11g on hpux 11.31 without any problem. it is important that you install the following patch on hpux 11.31:
PHKL_38038

Hi,
" Which means that I can Install Oracle 10g on HPUX 11.31.. "
"This is right".
We can install 10g in v2 and v3.

exactly, I suggest you to use 11.31 if you can.

Shalom,

Oracle does not certify that way.

They are stating their intent to make the database work on later OS releases of HP-UX.

This should not be interpreted as certification.

Oracle sometimes has to do patch releases to make their product run on new Operating systems.

Until and unless 11.31 specifically shows up on their support matrix you must assume it is not supported.

I happen to know however that 11.31 does appear on the support matrix for 10g database server product.

So, you can't assume anything from page 30 of this document, however if you check metalink you will see the promise Oracle made in this document has been fulfilled.
