You need the DVD!

Use a PC based burning program or "dd" from hp-ux to create the ISO file.

Shalom,

No senthil, you will need to take the DVD install media and use dd to make the iso yourself.

Assuming you have a software contract, you can use your DVD as a the source and create your own iso.

I don't know what you are going to do with it. HP-UX has a very hard time mounting iso files.

> [...] in ISO format.

ISO is a standards organization.

     http://www.iso.org

When you get there, search for "9660".
ISO-9660 is a CD-ROM file system standard.

> Use a PC based burning program or "dd" from

"dd" can create an image of the CD/DVD.  It's
an ISO-9660 image if the CD/DVD contained an
ISO-9660 file system.  If an HP-UX CD/DVD
contains some other file system, then "dd"
can create an image of it, but it will not
be an ISO-9660 image.

Calling a CD/DVD image "an ISO" is common,
but it is misleading.

The cdrtools package also includes a
"readcd" program, which is a bit more
convenient than "dd".

One could make a DVD from it.

Of course, this whole discussion may have
little to do with the real problem, about
which we know approximately nothing.  If the
real question is, "Where can I download an
HP-UX installation DVD image?", then the
answer has little to do with which format is
used on the DVD.

HP-UX is not available for download. You need to buy media kits from HP.

Based on other threads from senthil_kumar I'm sure he will use the ISOs to install virtual machines. This is many tomes faster than using real media. "dd" copies work fine, so I suggest to use this.

a) With HP-UX 11.31 Update 4 release, HP
started offering electronic delivery in April
2009 (in the US only).

is processed.

The associated support products (software
updates) are delivered either physically or
electronically.

You're in India, right? Did you note the part where it said "US only?"?

You might state *exactly* what it is you are trying to do, as I don't believe the standard distibution media is in ISO format either (but I could be wrong)....

Otherwise you can use Software Update Manager (set the links above left) to request physical media. This may NOT be in ISO format.

Hi All,

I have linked my service aggrement id with my login, so i am able to access "software update manager".

I used following steps:

Software Update Manager --> request updates -->all service aggrement (selected) --> release (selected) -->Then i have selected particular release "HP-UX 11i v3 OE Update Release 09/2009"

Here i have doubts, actually i want to install HP-UX 11i v3 on Integrity server (rx3600). but here the available platform is "HP9000", so can i use this for Integrity server?

Install media is the same for HP9000 and Integrities.

with a valid software maintenance contract, I'd *assume* not or, if there is a charge, that it's minimal (as in the cost of the media plus shipping).

Further, I believe it will *tell* you what it costs when you actually get to the part where you order it, but I'm not certain.

But, I'm not HP, so I don't know that for sure. You could always call, open a ticket or ????
