HP-UX Reinstallation / Licensing
Hello,
We have received a HP Integrity Server rx3600 (itanium architecture) that came with HP-UX on it. The installation of HP-UX is "broken" and it hangs and will not boot. The server did not come with any re installation media. I am just wondering, Legally and within ToS, can I do to restore this installation?
I understand that IA64 architecture is separate from x86 and x86_64 so only a handful of OSs will support it. I can get it to work with Debian IA64 (assumption) but would prefer to get it working with the original, shipped OS.
What are my options with no media?
Thank you,
6L71
Update: Debian will not boot with this system either with the ia64 version.

Hi Guys,
Can someone please give me an introduction with hp-ux licensing?
Is the licensing per user or per cpu or both? How do you push it on the server? Or is it included in the hardware price.
