Will Integrity binaries run on an HP9000

[Darrell Tschakert]

Hi,
I have been tasked with performing a disaster recovery excersize at a remote site hosted by a company named SunGuard. Our shop currently runs Integrity servers - rx4640's running 11.23. We are scheduled to restore one of the Integrity servers onto an HP 9000 model N4000 #1 (W4B) with 8 550 Mhz PA-8600 processors. It is suggested that we use ignite to read a recovery tape created on the rx4640 into the HP 9000. It does not seem to me that an HP 9000 can run Integrity code, but I am not an expert on the subject. Can anyone tell me with any authority whether or not this can be done? I want to switch sites to one that has an Integrity, but need support for my position first.

Thanks,
Darrell Tschakert

No, they will not run.

The other way could work, but without mixing the shared objects.

Hi Darrell,

No you couldn't load an entire Ignite tape on an N-class from an rx4640. The OS is entirely different. But, depending on the code, you *may* be able to run application code. But *only* if it's not specifically compiled for Itanium-2. If it's "standard" PA-RISC code it can run on both. If it's Itanium-2 specific code it will only run on rx systems.

Rgds,
Jeff

PA-RISC Binaries will run on Itanium through the Aries Emulator. But there is nothing the other way round

Hope That Helps
