Stories about Oracle concepts I have learnt from work, and the occasional brain-dump…

HP-UX PA-RISC or Itanium

Don’t do what I did… I got this error when mistakenly installing Oracle 10gR2 (10.2.0.1) HP-UX PA-RISC distribution on a HP-UX Itanium platform:

ar: warning: the file <some_file> is from an incompatible architecture 

Metalink Note: 603735.1 - HP-UX: “Incompatible Architecture” Error During The Relink Phase

… explains this.

uname -m

On HP-UX Itanium systems, the “uname -m” command returns “ia64″.
On HP-UX PA-RISC systems, the “uname -m” command returns something similar to “9000/800″.
