Yes it is posiible.Even we have landscape where CI+DB is running on HP-UX & application server is running on LINUX platform.

Thanks..

This is basic information... you need to mount /sapmnt/<SID>/global and profile on the application server...

as the CI is HP-UX and the DI will be Linux you'll have no issues mounting them as NFS

There is no general problem - no. At the moment the linux application servers might be faster (higher cpu clock speed) than the HP hardware. And without knowing every detail of your installation nobody can tell.

If you for example only generate abap loads (SGEN) on the central instance on hp-ux, then your linux application servers won't be very fast

There is only one way to be sure your configuration works: test it.

You should experience no performance issues at all... as said before you might find your linux boxes faster but at the end of the day they're only as fast as the DB can serve them.

I run a similar scenario with AIX and Linux and it works great.

Dear all thank you for assistants

I finally managed to install the application server with Linux Suse 10 and the database server HP-UX.

It's going well.
