Bug HP Unix & Sun Solaris on single machine

Is it possible to install 2 flavors of Unix on a single machine ?

-HP Unix
-SUN Solaris

Please provide sufficient information to carry both of the above OS installation on single machine.Any guide/steps/document will do.

I highly doubt that's possible, as you only get HP-UX with the hardware, which is Itanium (IA64) based, which isn't supported by Solaris as far as I know.

On which machine? You can install for eg Linux, Ubuntu and Solaris on a VirtulBox Smilie

VirtualBox isn't ported to the Itanium and I doubt its really achievable given its ties to the x86 architecture.

HP-UX is proprietary an only run on proprietary/closed hardware. No actual hardware or virtual machine supports both of these environments.

The "simpler" solution would be to port (Open)Solaris to the Itanium. This was even somewhat announced about 11 years ago although never released.
