Upgrade the HP-Unix server

[VVS]

Currently I have the following configuration
Version of HP-UX B.11.11
Machin & Model No. 9000/800
Hard disk Size 36.4GB
DVD ROM HP DVD-ROM 305
CPU Version PA 8700 CPU Module 2.3
Clock Frequency 650 MHz
Hardware Model 9000/800/A400-6X
Physical Memory 640.6 MB

So please suggest me the upgradation in the system

Thanks

Hi!!

Your system should be upgradable to HP-UX 11.23, however your memory is pretty low. I suggest you upgrade the memory as much as possible before you attempt an upgrade. And, as has been suggested in other forum answers, you should do a 'cold install' of the operating system, as opposed to an upgrade.

Hope this helps.

Thanks.
Please tell me one thing that how much memory size the processor support.
How much harddisk I can increase?
And I also want to install SAP Application on that server. So will it support?

Hi!!

According to the documentation, the A400 will support 4GB of memory, (2 X 2GB modules, hp part # A6114A,) and the 73GB hard-drive, (HP part # A6804A.)

As far as SAP goes, I don't see why you couldn't install that. You should speak to a consulting service first though, just to be sure.

Hope this helps.

Please provide the docs related to the A400-6X.

Hello Vasudev,
based on the information you provided, your server is a RP2430. that model cannot be upgrade to HP-UX 11.23

some of these models have limitations when it comes to maximum memory and adding a second CPU.

please take a look at RX24xx hardware manual

just a quick correction, you can install HP-UX 11.23 on your server it would have to HP-UX 11.23PI

As of 2008, 11.23 is 11.23. I don't think "PI" is mentioned anymore.

Well here's what you can upgrade you HW too.
2 (* only *) PA-RISC cpus @ 750 MHZ. This would be an rp2470. Refer to this link:

And here's what you got for O/S upgrades, HP-UX 11.i v1 only. You are not compatible with v2 or v3.

See page 11 of this link or search on PA-8700.

This is an old box that's hardly worth keeping around. It's one redeaming feature is it can run a 64 O/S.
