daul boot question

[HPP]

Hi,
Has anyone tried daul booting on Itanium servers. We have bought Itanium based server with factory installed HP-UX. We want to have dual boot for WIN XP and HPUX.

Any help in this regard.

Thanks in advance.

I'm guessing here that what you need to do is run VPARs. Then in your virtual partitions, you can run Windoze/HP-UX/Linux.

I don't think WinXP will run on Itanium. Windows 2003 will though.

You should be able to have HP-UX installed on one drive and Win2003 installed on another and boot from whichever you please.

Shoudnt be a problem. All you need is 2 boot disks. HP-UX on one and XP on the other. When you reboot choose which boot disc you want!

Please disregard my previous, obviously flawed, guess. The VPAR software is used strictly to run multiple HP-UX instances.
