Multple versions of hp-ux on partitions ..

[Karthik S S]

Hi,

Can I install different versions of hp-ux (10.20, 11.00, 11.11 ) on different partions of vPar?? ( I guess it is not). But is it possible to have that on a nPartition??

Pl. help

Thanks
Karthik

no.... You can only install 11i. These systems will not run previous versions of the OS.

Hi Michael,

Even nPartion wont support different versions??. Is there any specific reason for that??

Thanks

Hi,

It's to do with the PA-Risc chip version. For example 11 is not supported on rp7410, rp8400 etc as there are many extra add-ons for that hardware this not available in 11 and previous.

Hi Karthik,

Only Superdomic systems (RP7410, RP8400,SD***) are capable for nPartitioning and they only support 11i. The reason is due to the lack of hardware extensions in 11.00 and below to support the hardware.
