[ale] HP Visualize J210XC Workstation

[Lightner, Jeff]

I happen to have a Visualize B180L sitting here running Debian which has a port to PA-RISC.   This one is a 32 bit machine.   I’m thinking the J was probably a 64 bit machine.

HP’s used PA-RISC processors built by HP until a few years ago when you could get either PA-RISC or Itanium (at least in the HP 9000 servers).   As you surmised this is actually workstation class machine and unfortunately I don’t know if they offered similar in that class though I’m guessing they did.   (In server class they were using rp for PA-RISC and rx for Itanium so it may be the X here means Itanium.)

So the main question would be what OS and version do they want to run?   HP-UX up through 11.11 (a/k/a 11iV1) only ran on PA-RISC.   11.22 ran on Itanium IIRC and 11.23 ran on PA-RISC (these were a/k/a 11iV2).   11.3x ran on either IIRC.   However, HP discontinued manufacture of PA-RISC based systems at the end of 2009 so the only servers they build now for HP-UX are the Itanium ones.

Need some grey beard assistance. I just got a call from a government purchasing agent asking for a quote for one of these/or equivalent. From what I have found on HP web site it is a HP UX box, that I am assuming is discontinued, but I haven't been able to drill down to the system specs to see if I could build an eq system for them. Can anybody with HP experience give me some pointers on where to look?

Thanks,
