OS Compatibilities

[Sridhar SASTRA]

We have HP RP8400 Superdome server with PA RISC Processor running with OS hpunix 11i. Can we install multiple OS in this system or dual OS like hpunix and Linux.

hi sridhar ;
is it sd or 8400 ; both system and partitionable and have multiple os support but you can install just hp-ux on rp systems .

RP8400=SD?
When HP released this. :)
Anyways...on Pa-RISC its not possible. You need IA for this.

As already stated by the others, a PA-RISC system can only run HP-UX.
But both an RP8400 as a SuperDome can be artitioned (nPAR and vPAR) and every partition can run it's own OS, which can each be of a different version : HP-UX 11iv1, HP-UX 11iv2, HP-UX 11iv3
