Few questions about HPUX
Hi guys

I want to know a few things about HP-UX. I am big fan of Solaris and I know HP-UX is his brother (UNIX System V).

Yesterday I spent a few hours on docs.hp.com and it looks like a interesting OS.

So a few questions.

1.) Is it hard/easy to keep it running than Solaris .

2.) How do you backup your system , is it classical UNIX commands (ufsdump, tar , cpio) or you have tools like flasharchive ?

3.) What IDE you use to develop applications for HP-UX.

4.) Tell me something interest.

And this isn`t a new "Solaris vs HP-UX " theme , I`m just curious .

Smilie

yes...

HP-UX also has tools:
fbackup
make_recovery (make_tape_recovery etc...)
...

Question of point of vue...
IMHO it has like AIX a true system administration interface (SAM in HP, SMIT in AIX)
with no equivalent in SOLARIS (poor admintool...).
Just for fun:
Code:
aco:/home/vbe $ model;uname -r;uptime
9000/800/K360
B.11.00
  3:41pm  up 1699 days, 52 mins,  21 users,  load average: 0.05, 0.03, 0.02

I agree that HP-UX has great admin tools. And we used those backup tools that you mention everyday to run backups and create a recovery tape to be sent offsite.

I've been away from it for 6 years, but your post reminds me of when we finally decommisioned an old HP F30 box (a very small server). It ran our payroll app for 3 years straight without any downtime. It was so small that when we had a transformer blow and were without power for a couple of days once, the UPS it was attached to, kept it running the entire time. It didn't draw much power. Those SCSI drives sure did whine though.. Smilie
