Jay - Thanks for looking this up. This note includes the statement: "There will not be support for prior to EV56 generation Alpha Tru64 UNIX", which implies that EV56 IS supported. Compaq also lists EV5.6 as supported for 8.1.7. Now, if I could just find someone that has installed there. How about it folks?

According to this note, EV5.6 and 8.1.7 do not work together:

Note:111187.1
Oracle RDBMS 8.1.7 will NOT run on EV5 or earlier systems

We are trying to install Oracle 8.1.7 on Compaq Tru64 with 0.S. 4.0F with the latest patch kit, and the EV5.6 chip set. The install just bombs off at 56% complete. No error messages, log messages, or trace files (hasn't gotten far enough to create ORACLE_HOME). The install works fine on another machine with the EV6 chip set. Compaq and Oracle say that EV5.6 should be acceptable, and haven't provided much in the way of resolution. If you are curious which chip set you have, enter the command "/usr/sbin/psrinfo -v". Any information on this would be helpful. Thank you. Dennis Williams
