Hi group, hi bill,
My company is a software house, Linux RH is the dev-plateform and the primary
platform of our deployment.
Rocket/U2 certifies under RH and RH Enterprise, but UV run perfectly on Fedora
release too.
We run with RH from years without problem. If you choose Enterprise, you get a
very good support and additional service from RH.
Our customers run all release of UV (windows, linux, aix, hp-ux, ... ) and we
deliver our software via cpio or tar but the best cross platform tool is
uvbackup/uvrestore because uvrestore create a new uvfile, new indexes, ... when
it restores datas; you get no "binary" problem.
You don't need to re-compile you basics, you must use ''fnuxi'' on all
datafiles and basic object copied by OS method.
<<find path -exec fnuxi {}\;>>
You don't need to re- global catalog, you can copy manually the content of
$UVHOME/catdir, just pass a fnuxi on this directory.
Exchange from linux to hp-ux and return, works perfectly, use fnuxi if you copy
via OS.
Your major problem are not under Universe, but on external tools, application,
scripts, ... you actually run under hp-ux,
that you must check and sometimes switch to similar tools available under
linux.
If you work with extended characters set in os-filename be careful about the os
language setting.
Regarding RH on HP Integrity(Itanium) it's not a U2 problem, it's a RH problem.
Actually, UV runs under RH 5.2, you can read this on HP website :" Red Hat
announces that it is committed to protecting Itanium customers' investments,
that all Itanium related development will be incorporated into Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 5 exclusively, and that the next major release of Red Hat
Enterprise Linux (version 6) will not support Itanium. "
My 2 pence.
