32 bit or 64 bit

[Thayanidhi]

Hi,

I have K-class running 10.20
How do I verify whether it support 64 bit 11i.

getconf HW_CPU_SUPP_BITS and getconf KERNEL_BITS are working for 11.x only.

In 10.20 what is the name of the variable? or
any alternate method?

Thanks in advance

10.20 does not support 64bits. period.

see what processor you have. You need a pa-8xxx

use model and the instructions on above two links to find out

Hi:

Try this:

getconf HW_32_64_CAPABLE

Hi,

Check this matrix:

Check out the server support matrix here:

http://devresource.hp.com/STK/serversupport.html

[Chris Wilshaw]

Check /etc/.supported_bits on any 11.x system - this lists the versions that any server will be able to run.

For the K series, this gives

9000/802/K250 32/64
9000/879/K260 32/64
9000/879/K260-EG 32/64
9000/889/K460-EG 32/64
9000/889/K460-XP 32/64
9000/898/K370 32/64
9000/804/K450 32/64
9000/889/K460 32/64
9000/899/K570 32/64
9000/800/K380 32/64
9000/800/K580 32/64
9000/800/K360 32/64

Hi,

Thanks for the replies, it is K460.
So it is supporting 64 bit. Any one knows
any other requirement to install 11i,
such as minimum PDC-firmware revision...etc.

Thanks again.

on the docs.hp.com site, you can find the 11i Installing and Update Guide at http://www.docs.hp.com/hpux/pdf/5187-1350.pdf and under chapter 3, you will find all of your requirements

Hi

I think it needs a firm ware version starting with 41.xx or all you need is to start the instaaltion then it will eitehr install the 64 bit version or tell you to upgrade the firm ware version . At this point call HP to upgrade teh firmware version.

Anyone care to check if the attached script does what it's supposed to do?

l1:/ 118 # ux
l1 HP-UX 11.00/64 U 9000/800/L1000-44/64 PA8500/440 pa-2.0 512 Mb
l1:/ 119 #

If it's reliable enough, I'm putting this on my page.

Memory could be better done as:

if (open my $lst, "echo 'memory_installed_in_machine/D' | adb -k /stand/vmunix /dev/mem |") {
while (<$lst>) {
m/\b(\d+)$/ or next;
$mem += $1 * 4 / 1024;
}
}

Hi Procura,

Your script did not work for me, Any way thanks

Looking at the OS Version and System model, I guess you must surely have a look at the fimware version before attempting to upgrade.
(bcoz the version could be older)

Why not? Can I fix it? I /realy/ think it is useful. Please post error message(s)

Hi Merijin,

Is there pre requesit to run this.
I have Perl 5.8.x

When I run I get

#./ux
./ux[4]: use: not found.
./ux[5]: use: not found.
./ux[6]: use: not found.
./ux[8]: Syntax error at line 8 : `((' is not expected.
#

I tried with diffrent shells as well by editing the top line with diffrent perl paths.

TT

[H.Merijn Brand (procura]

You might have perl5.8.x, but you are not using it.

perl -v

probably tell you 4.036 :)

change your $PATH to have perl5 before perl4

which perl

might say it's /usr/contrib/bin/perl, which is perl4

Enjoy, have FUN! H.Merijn

[H.Merijn Brand (procura]

D'uh. Scratch that.

Just change the first line to the correct path. It's now interpreting the script as 'sh', not as perl. Yours is most likely not installed in /pro/bin :)

or try

perl ./ux

Enjoy, have FUN! H.Merijn

Hi,

It's working fine now.

Are you root? I guess not, because it does not report the memory. Replace the memory part in the attached script with the part from the post that followed it. It should report the installed memory and the processor speed if you are root.

Actually, it was my understanding that if your system was 32/64 capable, then the install utility preferred to select 32-bit installation. I know for my workstations that were 32/64, they always defaulted to 32-bit ... I had to force them to 64.

There's no reason to go to 64-bit on PA-RISC unless you have processes that need to address more then 4GB of memory directly. Performance of 32-bit apps takes a slight hit when running on 64-bit HP-UX, so you may be better sticking with 32-bit HP-US if you can.
