supported bits

[Troyan Krastev]

Hi,

I am going to upgrade one of my UNIX boxes from HP-UX 10.20 to HP-UX 11.00,
but when I execute "model" I get only "9000/800".
How can I get more info about hardware to figure out what version - 64 or 32
bits of HP-UX 11.00 to install?

Thanks,
Troy.

If that is ALL you get from issuing the model command, then you will need to get HP Hardware Engineer to come out and set it correctly to allow you to upgrade correctly.
Out of interest, what does the lael on the front of the system say, or inside the front cover? etc.

Hi !

The supported version depends on CPU. The I class has PA7100 so in this system work only 32 bit version.

The lael on the front of the system: K220

Hi Troy:

If this is truly a K220, then only the 32-bit version of HP-UX 11.x is supported.

I strongly agree with Melvyn. If the 'model' command isn't returning the K220 in something like 9000/800/K220, then log a hardware call and get an engineer to fix this.

Some, but not all, K-class systems support 64-bit 11.X.

K-class (PA7x00) only support 32-bit.
K-class (PA8x00) support either 32- or 64-bit.

You can look at /usr/sam/lib/mo/sched.models on your current machine for which processor type your model represents.

Make sure you have the required minimum PDC revision and minimum firmware revision installed for your processor.

If you have the Diagnostic Support Tools loaded, you can obtain the values by doing the following:

# ioscan -fn -C processor
# echo "sel path 32;info;wait;infolog"|cstm > /tmp/infolog

The above assumes that the hardware path of the processor in question was "32" as returned by ioscan.

Match the PDC and firmware values to the table found in chapter-2 of "Installing HP-UX 11.0 and Updating HP-UX 10.x to 11.0":

Sorry !

It was my mistake, I read modell I
but
in K220 work PA7200 RISC processor so You can use only 32 bit version.

Sorry again my bad english.
