Mount an AS500 harddisk in Windows or Linux
Hi,
Is there any application to read the files of a AS500 (HP-UX) harddisk without a running AS500 computer?
I was able to attach the disc to a computer with SCSI card, Windows 7, and even take a raw copy.
But, I was not able to find any system or tool to mount the filesystem inside.
Tried with Windows, some windows tools, Ubuntu, Debian, Solarix....
Regards,

The Linux systems you listed use the EXT3 or 4 file system. HP-UX uses VxFS as the primary file system. You cannot run HP-UX on a VMware environment because it uses a different processor architecture.
You could be S.O.L. on this one. Basically, you probably need to boot an old Advant or HP-UX station and read the files off it using Kermit. ( Which is the recommended way if you are upgrading Advant Graphics to 800xA VB graphics )
Edit: You might be able to mount the VxFS disk onto a redhat Linux Distro .... https://community.hpe.com/t5/System-A... But the warning seems to be this could also go horribly wrong and you should mount the disk read only.
