I am new to HPUX so kindly help me by providing information related to HPUX. I would like to know the date when HPUX 11i v3 comes in to market as well as I have H3056S student guide dated May 2005 which I download through some site. Now I want to know its a HPUX 11i v2 or HPUX 11i v3 supported pdf
hello! i'm and HP fan, i know nothing about using HP-UX, UNIX or related, exept, that i have used MAC OS, i wanted to join the HP-UX world! could you help me, i don't even know which hardware to buy, or system requeriments. is the PA-RISC discontinued?
Alpha? Whatchu talkin bout Willis? HP-UX doesn't run on Alpha, never has. It runs on PA-RISC and Itanium.
If you know nothing about unix, what makes you so interested in HP-UX?? Seems like Linux or FreeBSD would be a better starting place as that runs on commodity consumer pc hardware, plus it's *far* more user friendly for a beginner.
PA-RISC is indeed on its way out, Itanium is the new flavor of the day. That said, you can find some pretty nice PA-RISC machines for cheap. Like an rp4440 with dual 1Ghz processors and a couple gigs of ram. Mind you this is a noisy 4U rackmount server that weighs ~80 lbs or so. IIRC it requires 220v power too. Not something you'll want running in your living room. PA-RISC workstations do exist, although I can't comment on those. I work on large HP-UX servers for a living (rx7000, rx8000, and superdome) so to me it's not all that exciting, just another day at work.
The good news is that all HP-UX servers don't have any sort of video card, all your interaction with the machine is through a standard RS232 serial port. No fancy esoteric monitors or proprietary kbd / mouse required! Also the vast majority don't have a hardware raid controller. One less thing to fail IMO. You mirror the system disks using LVM.
well, i am interested on HP-UX because it's HP. i own some Designjets, a lot of HP Calculators, 4 pavilion, an HP ProLiant ML350 G5 for my backup, and a lot of more HP stuff all just for fun, i really don't know, i just love HP.
i wanted to use HP-UX, can all you guys, don't know if any girls, help me for starting using it, don't know if it's graphical, never seen a screen.
please reccomend a workstations, if not a server it's ok, but cheap, haha, just for beginners.... thanks
robertq,
You should be able to find cheap boxes out there... you would live nearby I would have given you a D class, in workstation anything from model 9000/715 would be good for HP-UX 9.05, 9.07 or 10.20 (but will be slow) nicely made and not as noisy as new models:
B130 B180 that Im sure you could find for less than 100$...
Have you been on Ebay to see?
