HP C8000 with HP-UX 10.20
Hi all,
I know that this will sound like from stone age but I am still using couple B180L and B2600 boxes running with HP-UX 10.20 Ace5.
Recently I got perfect condition HP C8000 workstation and just wondering if I can run it with 10.20?
All specs saying min requirements are 11i, however I am sure I've seen post somewhere before that it is possible to build 10.20 on this machine. Maybe I was dreaming?
Tried to cold install 10.20 and got the following results:
Booting...
HARD Booted.
ISL Revision A.00.38 OCT 26, 1994 (oh god, that's old...)
ISL booting hpux (;0):INSTALL
Then after couple seconds screens refreshed with the following message:
ISL> S/N 113-99006-103 BIOS
and just got ISL console. Unfortunately, I am not experienced enough to benefit from ISL console...
Is it a sign that workstation is not compatible or there is a way which I am not aware of to install 10.20 on C8000?
Any comments appreciated.
Thank you.
