Has anyone run Oracle V6.0.36.7.1 or V7.1.6 on HP-UX 10.20 ?

I know this setup is not supported by Oracle but does anyone _know_ for sure if this will or will not work ?

We have a maintenance contract for an application we built some years ago and need to have an old instance available. This has kept us from upgrading our main server from HP-UX 9.0.X to 10.20.

I can't think of any reason why V6 or V7.1 wouldn't run as the HP-UX system call interface must certainly be upwards compatible, unless the older Oracle version depends on some subtly different behaviour in some specific syscall.
I actually just created an test instance on a spare 10.20 workstation and it came up OK. Haven't yet tested it thoroughly, though.

But does anyone know for sure if I will have trouble later ?

Thanks for your input,

Tapio
