Hi Mikey,

If it's indeed 11i v1.6 it will report as 11.22

11 => 11.00
11i => 11.11
11i v1.5 => 11.20
11i v1.6 => 11.22

HTH,
Jeff

HP-UX 11i Version 1.6 is the release for all Itanium ???-based HP-UX systems. The HP-UX 11i Version 1.6 Operating Environments (OEs) are integrated and tested software solutions
containing the operating system and selected applications.
Precision Architecture Reduced Instruction Set Computing (PARISC)-based systems should continue to run HP-UX 11i (Release ID B.11.11) or earlier. HP-UX 11i v1.6 does not run on PA-RISC based systems.
HP-UX 11i Version 1.6 has a Release ID of B.11.22.

Yep tried that. Thought I was going crazy, I'm rusty with Unix

All I get is


HP-UX neptune B.11.00 U 9000/800 1701947656 unlimited-user license

or

B.11.00

I was told this system was loaded with HP-UX 11i v.1.6

Guess not

Thanks guys
Mikey

Mikey,

Out of curiousity, what do you get for a model? Issue the "model" command.

If it's an L box then it can't run 11i v1.6. Only 11.0 or 11.11 (11i).

[Pete Randall]

That's a PA-RISC based server, not Itanium, so there's no way you could have 11v1.6 on it.

As mentioned and as posted by you, it look like you are running 11.00 on the server. You cannot have v.1.6 on that server.

Found out its a Rp5430

and than found

HP-UX 11i is supported on the HP servers and workstations listed below

Rp5430 64bit was in the list

does this mean it will ?

Hi (again) Mikey,

Yes, 11i will run on an RP5430.
But not 11i v1.5 or 1.6 - they're Itanium CPU releases only.

Rgds,
Jeff

[Helen French]

Again, HP-UX 11i stands for 11.11. If it's v.1.6 then it will clearly say that's the OS is HP-UX 11i version 1.6

For supported system for version 1.6 check here:

http://devrsrc1.external.hp.com/STK/hpuxoverview.html#1122sys

The rp5430 will work with 11i (11.11).

ok thanks guys you been a hudge help

thank u thank u

The Itanium series is a completely different processor which is why it is impossible to load 11.6 onto the machine. However, the 11i version you have on the box is 64bit (all new HP-UX systems can only run 64bit HP-UX). Note that unlike some other mfrs, HP-UX 64bit runs 32bit applications as well as 64bit applications. There's nothing particularly different about the Itanium version of HP-UX so this is a case where the 'latest' version number is not better, it incompatible. [product marketeers seem to love dreaming up inconprehensible numbering schemes]

Hi Mikey,

The output of uname on IA64 looks like this - it is from one of our machines -

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
# uname -a
