Hi Prasad:

Your L-class is supported by 11.23. For release details and caveats, see:

Hi,

the OS is supported, but make sure your current IO devices and cards are supported with the new version, see

http://h18000.www1.hp.com/products/quickspecs/11729_div/11729_div.HTML#I/O%20Considerations%20when%20Upgrading%20from%20PA-RISC%20to%20IPF%20HP-UX%2011i%20v2

e.g. "all" HVD SCSI devices are supported with 11.11, but no longer with 11.23

Shalom Prasad,

The only thing I'd be afraid of is the upgrade process itself.

upgrade-ux has proven in past versions to be very problematic. The more complex the system the less reliable it becomes.

Some application vendors don't support its use.

Best way to "upgrade" is to start with a cold install of the 11.23 OS. Then re-install all your applications and get them working again.

As noted by others, your hardware is supported. It is a good idea to update firmware ahead of the "upgrade"
