Resuscitating an old D-Class server
So, just for the fum of it all, I have gotten my hands on an old D-Class server and I want to get it up and running again. I have the install media for HP-UX 10.20, which was the last version I used at about the time that these systems were newish. What I am trying to find are the patches needed to bring it up to "the final state". Now, it seems that none of the patches have ever been archived in a public place, so I am forced to knock on the HPE castle door looking for stale scraps of bread.
I suspect that this is not going to be free in any stretch of the imagination. But if I want to buy a short term (say, one month or one quarter) of minimal service just so I can download the patches, does anybody know what level this is called and possibly how much I will spend?
Thanks in advance for helping me bring my personal dinosaur out of Jurrasic PA-Park and back into the sunshine!

Re: Resuscitating an old D-Class server
I'm in the same boat, except mine is a Itanium system. I've tried everything. Including trying to get a price listing for a Licence to use but not even that turned out to be possible. I was bounced back and forth between HPE and various partners, all to no avail.
So I suggest you just give up now. HPE has absolutely no interest in enthusiasts, hobbyists, people with HP-UX certifications or even the Legacy of HP-UX.
Regards,
Rikki.
