hpvm 4.0 to 4.2 upgrade

[George N]

Hello, we have HP-VM 4.0 running on an 11iv3 server. We would like to upgrade from hpvm 4.0 to latest 4.2. Two questions: Is it required to upgrade first to 4.1, and then to 4.2? And where can one download the hpvm 4.1 or 4.2 software? I did swainv patch analysis, but no hpvm upgrades were suggested. Thank you

Shalom,

No requirement to upgrade to 4.1.

You may have some trouble with hpsim, and have to remove the old version and then install a newer version after the upgrade to 4.2

Note that 4.0 supports Windows Server 2003 IA-64, 4.2 supports Windows Server 2008 IA-64 the last version Microsoft intends to release PA-RISC.

There is no version of HPVM that supports both Windows versions.

Thanks you, we do not have any Windows, only HP-UX. Do you know where to download this upgrade from? I can only find a Trial download from hp.com

You can not download the upgrade.

The Upgrade is provided to customers with a software contract through one of the following sources:

Core OS DVD
Application DVD

The DVD's can be ordered on line at SUM, Software Update Manager on http://itrc.hp.com

If I am right, you must have used ITRC patch assessment tool.

This is used to check the patch level. It will never check your product level!!
