HP-UX 11i Version 1.5 (B.11.20) includes Aries: HP's transparent binary compatibility solution for HP-UX/PA-RISC applications on HP-UX/Itanium platforms. Aries allows PA-RISC applications written for HP-UX releases up to (and including) HP-UX 11i (B.11.11) to run on Itanium-based systems running HP-UX 11i Version 1.5 (B.11.20). Aries supports both 32-bit and 64-bit PA-RISC applications.

Aries is composed of 4 shared libraries.

  • aries32.so

  • pa_boot32.so

  • aries64.so

  • pa_boot64.so

The following applications and/or behaviors are not supported:

  • emulation of debuggers

  • emulation of privileged PA-RISC instructions

  • HP-UX/IPF applications that attempt to use HP-UX/PA-RISC shared libraries or vice-versa

  • correct operation of timing-dependent applications
