HP-UX 11.0/11i 32 Bit

[varian_1]

Hi,

I want to install HP-UX (11.0 or 11i) in 32 bit mode. But in my CoreOS CD it showing only 64Bit option.
So can some body let me know How to install HP-UX11 in 32 bit mode.

Thanks in advance.

Regards
Walter Crasto

Hi Walter,

It depends entirely on the system you wish to install.
All of the newer systems can *only* run 64-bit.
About the last system capable of running 32-bit are the K-class systems, although I believe an early A-180 (NOT A-400/500) could run 32-bit as well.
It's a pretty good indicator that if the install util does not display a 32-bit version that you cannot run it in the HW upon which you're trying to install.

HTH,
Jeff

As Jeff said, it depends on the server. ALL NEW machines (workstations and servers both) can ONLY handle 64-bit HP-UX.

See the support matrices here:

Workstations:

Hi

kernel width depends on h/w(CPU) config.

old models like D-class, k-class can take only 32 bit, where as recent models (a-class, N-class etc..) takes only 64 bit OS.

If you are showing only 64 bit, thats all the hardware can handle.

I still run a D380 that can do both and "own" a D320 that can only run 32 bit. I think there is similar issues with R and K and V class servers.
