hpux installation on a laptop

[kacou]

i want to install hp-ux on my laptop. is it possible to do that by a viutual installtion?

[Torsten.]

You can install a laptop in a hp-ux server, linux or windows as a virtual machine onto a hp-ux server (or native on an Integrity) but hp-ux on a laptop - no way.

[Mridul Shrivastava]

As mentioned above by Torsten.. HPUX can not be installed on Laptop.
It can be installed on HP9000 Series PARISC or Integrity server.. yes there are some PARISC based workstation too on which older version can be installed.

Hi

HP-UX is platform dependent OS. specific platform like PA-RISC or Itanium based is its home base. It has no release like Sun Solaris x86 version.

so no way man.

[Fabio Ettore]

Hi,

I suppose that having Solaris on x86 put "a flea in the ears" to many people, so someone expects HP has released a HP-UX version for x86 too. It's not so.
HP-UX can be installed onto HP9000 PA-RISC, Integrity Servers and, just for 11.31, onto some kind of Blades.

Best regards,
Fabio

P.S.: in Italy "a flea in the ears" is a witty remark to say "something little is put in the mind of the people".

>Fabio: just for 11.31, onto some kind of Blades.

These are Integrity blades.

[Fabio Ettore]

Dennis, I know that. I am just specifying the different kinds of machine where to install HP-UX, I know that Blades where installing HP-UX have Intel Itanium processors.

[Dennis Handly]

>Fabio: I know that. ... I know that Blades where installing HP-UX have Intel Itanium processors.

If we are trying to tell kacou that he needs either PA-RISC or Integrity, we shouldn't say "some kind" of Blades. Some could be x86, Solaris or IBM. :-)

[Steven Schweda]

> [...] some kind of Blades.

I read this as "some kind of Blades", not
"all kinds of Blades".

> Some could be x86, Solaris or IBM.

No, those would not be "some", those would be
"other".

[Fabio Ettore]

Thanks guys.
I'll formulate again the statement:

HP-UX 11.31 can be installed also onto the Integrity Blades listed into the following document:

www.hp.com/go/hpuxservermatrix

kacou, you can consider the above link to know all systems where HP-UX can be installed.

Best regards,
Fabio

Hi
regarding the hpux install on a laptop this is possible only on a tadpole laptop who make these for HP and SUN using their CPU's

mo

[Torsten.]

Hpux too? Sure?

[Marco A.]

I thought they are for Sparc - SUN .

But..anyway, don't think you have one of those.

Into a normal laptop, you cannot .

Marco

> Hpux too? Sure?

Is Google broken again? Or does a search for
tadpole hp-ux
find thousands of hints?

[Torsten.]

The only useful I found is this:

http://www.openpa.net/systems/index.html

"...Two portable PA-RISC computers were produced by third-party vendors (RDI/Tadpole and SAIC), closely based on the HP 712 and C132/C160L workstationsâ designs. ..."

Well, the 712 was nice too ... ;-)
