Can HP model L1500-7x run 11i V2 (11.23) or higher

[Frank de Vries]

We have an HP server
[orasrv4:/root]# uname -a
HP-UX orasrv4 B.11.11 U 9000/800 1755927601 unlimited-user license
[orasrv4:/root]# model
9000/800/L1500-7x
[orasrv4:/root]#

We would like to get the OS to 11i V2 (11.23)
by doing an upgrade of the current OS 11.11

I am looking for answers to the following questions:

1. Can the hardware support it, how / where can I verify or check that ?

2. Is the upgrade process risky or smooth ?
And why

Thanks.

Your server (L1500 aka rp5430) can run 11.23, but it is not supported with 11.31, see

Hi Frank,

1) This hardware is supported

Check if the OS supports your hardware (controllers/adapters) from here:
