We are running it now on a few servers with no issues at all (except you can't use DMP to Clariion - yet).

Re: hpux 11.31

11.31 is solid but as with any migration it's not very wise to move without first testing. Well-written application should port without problems but ... . Yours is a perfect example of why a sandbox and test (those are not the same) environment are needed. Your sandbox doesn't have to be a 'dome; a small box purchased on the used-equipment market will work very nicely.
If it ain't broke, I can fix that.

Shalom,

I was not aware 11.31 was certified with Oracle. See that your Oracle product is and make sure you install requires OS patches.

I'd be wary, especially with Oracle.

Re: hpux 11.31

hi,

make sure you double check your apps and everything will run ok. Also check your licencing.

I would want to run the upgrade as a test first, for a while to make sure you dont have to many problems/none before going live.

as your going up two OS jumps in one from

11.11 - 11.23 - 11.31
