[periyasamy]

Hi
Still now hp-ux will be running in hp9000 and hp Intel Ia64 servers
It is possible to run the hp-ux os through vmvare product which is running by windows xp for testing purpose.
If Anybody knows about this,Pls explain me.

Not possible.

But you can install HP virtual machines on Integrity hardware and run HP-UX, windows and linux on it.

Hi,

HP-UX will run on PA-RISC and IA hardware architecture only. There are HP products available like vmware on windows. Those products are vpars/integrity virtual machines. But it won't run on other hardware where you can install windows and vmware.

They key point here is that VMware is x86/x86-64 only - it doesn't run on, or emulate any other processor architectures.

So you can't run HP-UX as a VMware guest, in the same way you can't run AIX as a VMware guest.

You also can't run the SPARC version of Solaris as a VMware gues, but as Sun ported Solaris to x86, you *can* run the x86 version of Solaris in a VMware guest.

VMware is for Windows, Linux and Solaris only.

Or to make life easy on everyone.

Read the release notes for VMWare taking special consideration to the chapter on supported operating systems.

And, oh, this would apply to just about everything.
