The HP Alpha RetainTrust program underscores HP’s commitment to providing
long-term business continuity for AlphaServer customers. Tru64 UNIX® to
HP-UX 11i transition modules show you the business value of moving forward
with HP while mitigating the risk, by providing you information to
plan and design your transition to HP-UX 11i on HP Integrity servers.
The transition modules address key topic areas of your transition, including:
platform infrastructure (servers, operating systems, storage and tape devices);
custom code applications; packaged applications from independent software vendors
(ISVs); and databases for Oracle and Sybase. Modules provide you a method and
framework to approach your transition across the planning, design, implementation,
and management phases.
There are several variants of the Transition Modules (TMs), based on the most common
source-destination platform pairings observed during customer transitions:

The focus of the transition modules currently available is on
Planning and Design.
The planning modules provide information to help you assess your
own environment and conduct high-level planning. Those high-level
plans are then used when entering the design phase, where more specific
details on how the transition will be conducted are defined.
The following table lists the Tru64 UNIX to HP-UX 11i transition modules that are
currently available:

Objectives & prerequisites |
|
|
Specifically, these transition modules will
- Provide you a method and framework to approach your transition
planning and design
- Provide you the means to begin to gauge level of effort and
transition duration
- Save you time and effort in planning and designing your transition
- Help you identify the areas within each module that require
further planning or design, and those that do not pertain
to your transition
- Help you define a customized plan for those areas that require
further planning and design
To get the most from these transition modules you should
- Be familiar with your long term business and technical goals
- Be familiar with the current hardware and operating system
environment (Platform infrastructure)
- Be familiar with the application development environment and
with Tru64 UNIX (Custom code applications)
- Be familiar with your current ISV packaged applications, if
any (Packaged applications)
- If you are transitioning a database, understand the
current overall database design and implementation; your database
usage, characteristics, and resource demands; and your database
access points and dependencies (Database for Oracle, Database for Sybase)
- Understand the current overall architectural implementation
- Be aware of any system design goals that were used in the current
implementation
- Be aware of any system design goals that are desired for the
target platform

The Transition Modules
are packaged in a downloadable Zip file for use by HP’s Tru64 UNIX
customers. This Zip file contains a web tree structure that allows
you to browse the Tru64 UNIX to HP-UX 11i transition modules and
their associated documents using your web browser. The Zip file is
encrypted and HP’s Tru64 UNIX customers will need to register for
a password key. You need to agree to the
license terms
and submit your registration information in order to receive
the password key that unlocks the Zip file. The key will be sent
to the email address specified in your registration.
In addition to the Transition Modules, there are several
migration tools available to assist Tru64 UNIX customers who are planning to transition files and or Oracle databases to HP-UX 11i. The current set of available migration tools are
the Database Migration Planning Assistant (DBMPA), and the Database Migration Script Set (DBMSS). Tru64 UNIX customers can download the available
tools at the same time as the Transition Modules Zip file, or can return to download at a later time.
Note:
The Transition Modules download procedure, license terms, and password key apply equally to all files -- the DBMPA should be installed on a Microsoft Windows system; the DBMSS should be
installed on an HP-UX system.
To download a Transition Modules Zip file or any of the available migration tools:
- Fill out the registration
form
- You must read, understand,
and agree to the license terms. If
you do not agree with the license
terms, click the button labeled "No,
I do not accept the license
terms".
- Click on Submit to send the
registration and request the
password key.
- HP will validate your customer
registration information. Assuming a
successful validation, within two to
three business days, you will
receive the password key at
the email address you provided
during registration.
Already registered?
If you are already registered and have a current password key, you can go
directly to the download page.
- On the download page, right-click on
Transition Modules Zip file to save the
encrypted Zip file on your local disk drive.
- You can download the available
migration tools
at the same time as the Transition Modules Zip
file, or you can return to download at a later
time. The save operation for the
migration tools
are similar to that of the Transition Modules
Zip file.
