Hi,
no such thing is possible. You can only run Windows as virtual machine guest on HP-UX host, and not vice versa. This is possible via virtual server environment, or specifically by a product called Integrity Virtual Machines.

There's a whole section on docs.hp.com to this:

Hy

thanks for the reply.

Alternatively, can be virtualized on Debian ?

Neither on debian or any other OS, by far...

There's been some development to being able to emulate hp parisc systems though:

But I don't know how far they are with the final solution...

Hi,


The short answer is NO. HP-UX can only be virtualized on HP-UX systems (using Integrity Virtual machines as was mentioned above).

So unless you have the HW that supports HP-UX you will not be able to virtualize it in any way...

Shalom Giovanni,

You may be interested, but HP has no plans to port HP-UX to a hardware architecture that could be virtualized on Windows.

That has been repeated in recent public announcements by the the company.

If this is a learning attempt, you can purchase older HP-UX servers for that endeavor on ebay and other exchanges.
