postgresql on HP NonStop system

Question

I want to install postgres on HP NonStop J series server. Can someone who is having experience on similar configuration help me out? I did not found any postgres libraries/installation packages/patches for NonStop servers.

I am new to NonStop systems but have worked on linux and unix (HP-UX) environment. NonStop systems provides Open System Services (OSS) environment which is an open computing interface to the HP NonStop operating system and is based on POSIX standards.

Postgres package is available for HP-UX system; can it be configured for OSS environment on Non Stop server ?

Answer 1

You will almost certainly have to compile PostgreSQL - and possibly its dependencies, depending on what's available pre-packaged for HP-UX - from source code. See installation from source code in the docs.

PostgreSQL is pretty well behaved and reasonable to compile, and there's a HP-UX ia64 buildfarm member so builds are tested on HP-UX.
