Installing HPUX 11 (64 bit) on a H-60

[Alexis_2]

Hi,

I'm in the process of installing HPUX 11.0 on a H-60 machine in my lab and durring the install, I do not see the option for a 64 bit installation. I only get the option for a 32 bit install. Do I need a firmware upgrade on this box or is it just not possible to upgrade this device? I have 2 HP-PB 16 bit differential SCSI cards on this box that I need for my tests, can this be the culprit?

Thanks,

Alex

looks from looking at http://devresource.hp.com/STK/serversupport.html that 32 bits is your lot.

You need PA8000 and above for 64-bit, H level machines only have PA7200.

An H60 running 64 bit HP-UX?? I don't think so!!!! That machine won't even come close to meeting the requirement to run HP-UX in 64-bit mode. You are strictly limited to running HP-UX 11.X in 32-bit mode on this box.

Your Server is not supported for 64bit OS, that is why you haven't see the option.

I am afraid you ar elimited to 32 bit on this system, and for reference it is not supported under HP-UX 11i

Thanks for the references on this issue. I'll look into other alternatives for my result.
