HI,

Yes you can install HP-UX 11i 64bit on a d380. Make sure you read the "Readme before installing or upgrading to HP-UX 11i" document to check on any special requirements such as firmware etc.

You can get the document at http://www.docs.hp.com


Cheers!!!

Yes.

HI

Do a fresh install and not an upgrade as this is fraught with problems.

There are many threads on the forum stating this.

You can run 11i 64bit on a D380 as long as you do NOT have any EISA cards you need to use. 64-bit HP-UX does NOT support EISA. If you need to use EISA cards you MUST use 32-bit HP-UX.

Dear All,

Thanks alot for your coopration,but is it right if the CPU Version:2.0 PA8000
I can not do it ?
i am afraid if it is not greater than 8600 then i should go with 32bit

See these :

Q: what are the hardware requirements to support an upgrade to HP-UX 64-bit 11.x?

A: You need to have PA8000 hardware, plus a firmware upgrade for some servers. Workstations do not need a firmware upgrade. See "Updating to HP-UX 11.0" in HP-UX 11.0 Installation and Update Guide. The information in this section will help you decide if you need a firmware upgrade. If a firmware upgrade is needed, you can arrange the upgrade through your local HP Customer Engineer.

Q: which systems required a firmware upgrade to utilize HP-UX 11.x 64-bit?

A: For older systems that contain PA8x00 CPUs, the PCD firmware must be upgraded to support HP-UX 11.x 64-bit. These older systems include earlier PA8x00 models of the K- and T-class systems. Please contact your local HP Customer Engineer to schedule a firmware upgrade.

So I guess pa 8000 hardware with firmware updates for selected (K,T...) would do fine.

NO that is wrong. See the links provided above. A D380 CAN support HP-UX 64-bit, but, as I said before, you won't be able to use any EISA cards with 64-bit HP-UX.
