Should we migrade the entire environment to AIX from HPUX, and WHY?
I don't feel it is good idea, mainly it cause a lot of uncertainties by moving entire system to another platform, including performance uncertainty. If you agree with me, could you please detail out these reasons as for why we should not do that?
Thanks in advance!

Re: Should we migrade the entire environment to AIX from HPUX, and WHY?
If you ask this in an HP Forum, you'll get one answer. If you ask in an IBM/AIX arena you'll probably get another answer.
*You* should find out what is so apparently attractive to your management. In business, financially sweet arrangements are sometimes offered to gain a foothold with the anticipation of more, long-term business later.

Re: Should we migrade the entire environment to AIX from HPUX, and WHY?
Surely the right thing to do is to also ask HP if they could move the other app from AIX to HP-UX - that way your company can _ensure_ its getting the best possible value... rather than just trusting one consulting firms opinion (how much $$$ does the consulting firm make from doing this migration???)

Re: Should we migrade the entire environment to AIX from HPUX, and WHY?
Reasons why to do the migration to HP-UX:
* Decreased support costs.
* HP support is still excellent
The IBM people are going to say they can do a better job at a lower cost.
Contact HP for a counter offer. You may find they can beat anything IBM has to offer.
Your concerns are quite correct.

Move from the rx4400s to Integrity blades..That should be the same or less.

Re: Should we migrade the entire environment to AIX from HPUX, and WHY?
My concerns are:
It takes time to maturize an application running on a particular OS/Platform. This application has already been running on HP for >5 years. It could cause a lot of uncertainties to move it to a different platform.
2nd, the resource here is more on
HP technologies, not too much on IBM.
Please add 3rd, 4th...
to ask HP for counter offer would be a good suggestion...

Its all business.
Best way, contact your HP account support manager for your accout ( if you have support from HP); They will give solution/ what HP can do on this, a counter offer or something else.
* if you want to migrate existing AIX yo HP-UX also .. ;)

Re: Should we migrade the entire environment to AIX from HPUX, and WHY?
But migrating to new HP gear will do so as well.
What's in these rx4600 server ? 4 single-core itaniums ? I bet if you replace these 4 old servers with the bl860 or bl870 blades or some upcoming rx2800 systems, you will certainly do the same, and will easily consolidate additional applications on HP gear.
You should make a good comparison :
Cost of IBM servers, training and migration
copared to.
Cost of HP servers, no training, and less migration, and no bill from the consulting firm.
If your management is healthy, they will certainly favor a cost-effective solution.
