[scstone]

HP have so many product runed on so many platforms.I cann't catch it in focus.eg.
a. HP 9000 HP-UX 11.0(32 bit)
b. HP 9000 Series HP-UX BLS(Secure)
c. HP 9000 Series HP-UX CMW(Secure)
d. HP IA64 HPUNIX
e. HP Tru64 UNIX
f. HP-UX Itanium
g. HP-UX PA-RISC(64-bit)
then which range is the rp8400??
thanks.

Hi

rp8400
r=rack mountable
p=PA-RISC

So, you may need to choose HP-UX PA-RISC(64-bit)

Vijayakumar: would you like tell me what means are of the below?
e. HP Tru64 UNIX
f. HP-UX Itanium
and what difference with the HP-UX PA-RISC(64 bit)?
thanks.

You're mixing a bit between HW and SW on that list.

HP9000 is the older name for all HP-UX boxes.

In a, b, and c, you list software revisions that would go along with an HP-UX box.

a) 32 bit OS revision 11.00 of HP-UX
b) B Level security revision of 11.00 of HP-UX
c) C Level security revision of 11.00 of HP-UX
d and f) 64 bit OS of HP-UX running IA64 hardware
e) pre-merger compaq version of Unix
g) 64 bit version of "a)"

That looks llike it came straight off Oracle's web site/.

a. 32 bit HP-UX 11. discontinued, support lapses in two years

bc. special secure distributions of HP-UX
d. Itanium ( a new 64 bit intel chip version of hp-ux/platform also runs Linux and windows).
e. discontinued 64 bit os from compaq. Will be migrated to HP-UX
f see d

g. PA-RISC non-intel developed chip/platform, one generation left according to HP.

The next version of HP-UX v2 will be an integrated code set that is supposed to run on all platforms.

Steven I'm not quite sure what you mean by "32 bit HP-UX 11. discontinued, support lapses in two years".
To the best of my knowldge 11.0 is to be discontinued and of April this year with support lasting thru 2006.
