    Hi all

    With in the next week we will be receiving our first RX4640 running 11iv2.
    Coming from an Alpha environment( Tru64 5.1a/b). I would be interested to
    know any Alpha sysadmins who have gone down this same path and have you come
    across any got-yas that are not listed in the manuals. in the following
    areas.

    1. boot prompt. From previous IA64 machines I have seen the boot firmware
    appears to be like arc which was used to boot NT on an alpha

    2. Fibre-channel. I am aware that as yet hp-ux doesnt multipath IO and what
    software do most HP-UX sys-admins use to provide this availability. and how
    does the handle a loss of a path

    3. Compilers I have heard mutterings that the HPUX compiler suite are far
    more stricter than DEC/Compaq compilers on the alpha.

    Thanks in advance -greg
