IRIX Network Installation

While we continue to license a few SGI machines, the software is now obsolete.

You must participate in SGI's Software Licensing Program to obtain the last version of the operating system, IRIX 6.5.30. Thet SGI license entitles you to the old Maintenance Upgrades and security patches when they are released . Although the SGI installation is quite user-friendly, it does require some technical expertise. Step by Step Instructions for IRIX 6.5.30.

An IRIX Maintenance Upgrade must be followed by a complete patch installation.
