Hi

I am having HP-UX VSE OE CD.
Can I use this to create Virtualization.
OR

Whether i need to install software or bundle or need to buy licence.

More over I am havinf BL460c blades. Whether this H/W supports HP-UNIX.

You cannot run HP-UX on a BL460c!

Do you have any other hardware?

PA-RISC or Itanium based?

This is what you need to run HP-UX.

If you have a BL460c, then lucky you - you will be able to run the Planet's most advanced Virtualization Platforms. And most are FREE!

My suggestion -- get Ubuntu 10.10 or CentOS 5.5 running.
Then you'll have a choice of which HyperVisor to run - Xen, vBox, ProxMox, vMware Server 1.0 or 2.0 or even KVM.


If you wan to go ESXi -- you can also do that.. there should be a version specific and prebuilt for the HP Proliants.

Once you have a Virtualization platform set up -- Run, Test, Explore any Windows, FreBSD, DOS, Solaris and of course Linux disrros easily -- with some even available as a ready to bbot/run virtualmachine image straight from their "marketplaces"

Enjoy.. welcome to the new IT order.
