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
