Solaris 5.9 supported on HP Servers?

[Juan de Los Palotes]

Hi guys

I know that this is a HP-UX forum, but I have a little question for this forum. Is S.O Solaris 5.9 suppported on HP Servers (rp5400 or rp5470)??. Thanks a lot for your help.

Regards
C.F

I would ask a solaris forum about solaris, but anyway - I'm sure it is not only not supported, but also not working.

I think it is only running on HP Proliant servers.

The only OS other than HP-UX that *may* run on your L-Class is probably Debian linux.

Solaris on HP9000 series servers? I don't think so. There is absolutely no way that is going to work. The only **supported** OS on the rp54xx series servers is HP-UX.

4 and 2 pts?

No it is not.

10 pts???

ok

I guess if someone would have, mistakenly, said that Solaris IS supported on HP-UX then it would have gotten 10 points. That 10 point answer would have been wrong though!

I'm right there with you, Patrick.

PA-RISC hardware, not HP-UX.

What a bunch of pessimists. All you need to
do is download a (free) kit for Solaris on
PA-RISC. It should be in the list right
after Solaris on SPARC and Solaris on x64,
and Solaris on x86.

Hmmm. Strange. I don't see PA-RISC.

Step 7. Buy a clue somewhere?

That's funny Torsten.

I've noticed in that past (on occasion) that when I've given an answer that was correct, but not what the poster wanted to hear, I only got a few points. But later on, someone posts a wrong answer, but more like what they wanted to hear, and they got more points.

Or, I've posted the answer to a question and get maybe 4 points, and then someone else just basically repeats the same answer, and they get 9 points!

Well, that's just part of the fun of being in this forum... :-) :-)
