DOWNLOAD HP-UX 10.20

[PEDRO J. RAMON]

Hello, I need download HP-UX 10.20, because I need install on PA RISK HP900 K260.

Thanks.

It's calles RISC, not RISK :-))

No way, no official downloads.

BTW; this version is unsupported for many, many years now.

I need this versión for a lab problem.

I need reinstall the server with HP-UX 10.20 version, I can´t migrate a newest versin.

Thanks.

so you are saying you have a critical system running on 10.20 which has been out of support for over 6 years and in a lab you now need to install another system with 10.20 but you *don't* have an media?

herein lies the lesson of why you need to be very careful when running EOL systems.

I guess its possible you might have Ignite installed on your current 10.20 system from which you could create a tape to boot and install the K260 off - but I really can't say whther that will work... otherwise I think you will be relying on "the kindness of strangers" - so it goes for unsupported systems...

I need HP.UX 10.20, is a client of ours who has this machine, we've got another machine and need the same HP.UX 10.20 to install it.
The client can not migrate the server application, which has asked us to install a machine is equal to his backup in case of a fall.
The customer has lost the HP-UX 10.20,

Everything is already discontinued and unsupported .....

Someone can give a formal or link to download the HP-UX 10.20

Greetings.

How about using ignite to "clone" the existing system?

-->>Someone can give a formal or link to download the HP-UX 10.20

No, because there is not, and never was, a download version of teh OS.
Your best bet is to contact your local HP office and see if they might be prepared to sell you the media, although doubt it

As suggested, try using Ignite to make a tape backup for recovery onto another server

[Pete Randall]

No, we can not give you a link to download. There is none. HP has not supported this version for many, many years and, even when it was supported, there were no "download links". This is not Linux, it is not free, you have to pay to get a copy and even then, you can only get currently supported versions.

The answer is no, no, and NO.

If you get desperate enough, you could
pretend that it's music or a movie. Get a
torrent client program and look for a title
like "HP-UX 10.20". There may be a CD-ROM
image out there somewhere.


You didn't get this advice from me.

[Prashanth.D.S]

Hi Pedro,

Your requirement is a OS which is outdated long long back as everyone suggested above no way that u can get a link to download as its not archived and unsupported.

And since u have got a similar machine at ur site as suggested above go for creating a ignite image and install the same on the desired host else no way to go about.

Best Regards,
Prashanth

Another possibility: Provide an e-mail
address, and hope that someone will make a
private offer. There may be someone out
there who would be willing to help, but who
does not wish to advertise a potential
copyright violation on a Web forum which is
operated by the copyright owner.

Many things are possible.

I remember when HP was willing to send anyone
10.20 on a CD-ROM, just hoping to avoid Y2k
problems. Those were the days. (I probably
should have pocketed that CD when I had the
chance. Safe bet that it's in a landfill,
now.)

A private offer please, on my contry HP don´t buy the HP-UX 10.20.

I suggest rebooting the customer's machine from some alternate boot media (no I don't have a suggestion as to what, perhaps some version of Linux) and then use the dd command to create a complete image of the existing system. Set the output to an external disk drive. Move the external disk over to your lab system and use dd to restore the image. It will be an exact copy, sector for sector.
