Good news for you Kumaren, Take a look on the following note: Note:311717.1 =========================== # How do I install the Oracle E-Business Suite database on Itanium? Answer: For new installations of Oracle E-Business Suite Release 11i, a combined HP-UX PA RISC and HP-UX Itanium Rapid Install package is available which allows you to install the Oracle E-Business Suite database tier directly on HP-UX Itanium. =========================== You can go ahead with split configuration from the beginning. Then install all the patches you'd like.
