Looking for a PA-RISC or Itanium workstation

[Chris2005]

Hi there folks,

I'm looking for a cheap (64-bit) PA-RISC or Itanium workstation for personal (lab) testing use so I can install and test OVO 8.x for instance.

Can anyone advice me on this where and what to buy?

Thanx in advance.

If you want something that will run the latest version of HP-UX (11.23 or 11.31) then a workstation of any variety will NOT work.

I would look for a very low end server. The lowest end new PA-RISC server is an rp3410. The lowest end Integrity server is an rx1620.

If you don't care about support -- You might look for an rp24xx machine. That will support 11.23, but I'm not sure about 11.31.

Good luck.

I have a refurbished rx2620 (with the battle star galatica looking stand).

It works great as a work station.

Talk to you local HP rep or reseller.

Thanx. Just thought a workstation would be cheaper, but a server is ok too.

I'm not sure wheher to use a PA-RISC or Itanium machine for testing OVO and NNM software for HP-UX. What do you advice me.

I would be tempted to go Itanium as that is the way of the future.
