Hi,

This is the matrix for workstations:

What exactly do you mean hardware compatibility list? Are you wanting to know which HP 9000 platforms support which version(s) of the OS?

Shiju gave you the workstation list. Here is the servers list for HP-UX 11.X

No, what I want is a HCL, witch hardware from other vendors are supported by HP in HP-UX, for example: does HP support DLT8000 from Quantum ? In witch version of HP-UX ?

Thanks

Hi,

There is no specific answer to the question. It depends on the Server, OS and the new hardware. For getting a complete compatibilty list, you have to search the entire HP sites. Try these sites:

Hi Bruno,

If you are looking for specific system related information, check this out:

Bruno,

You need to ask Quantum if their tape drives run on HPux, not the other way around.

If I built a widget, would you expect HPux to support it, or should it be my responibility to ensure that my product works with HPux?

Believe it or not. It is on your system
Check this out.
/etc/.supported_bits

No, I don't think /etc/.supported_bits is what he's looking for. That is a list of which systems support which os bit-levels.

What he's looking for is a definitive list of what other hardware (tape drives, juke boxes, etc) work on HP-UX.

As Harry and Shiju said, such a list does not exist. It's almost like asking Microsoft what all hardware their OS's run and all the devices they support. While they can tell you a lot, they're not going to know everything.

Try

ftp://contrib:9unsupp8@hprc.external.hp.com/supguides/workstations

for the latest HP-UX Workstation HCL. Info on CHV's (complementary hardware vendors - a classic TLA) is sparse. HP rebadges various third-party adapters (e.g IBM 4/16/100 token-ring) - I'd love to have information on whether the original works under HP-UX or not.
