I don't believe your B2000 is supported. See here:

Your document only states that it is supported on PA-RISC, not on a B2000 workstation. The document that Harry and I referred you to states explicitly that it is not supported on PA-RISC workstation at all.

It is entirely possible that you can install 11iv2 on a B2000 - it's just not supported by HP.

Thanks dear
You both are right & I was wrong (as I early mention that I am new to HP).
Thanks for your support.
