This chapter introduces you to the features and media contents of HP-UX 11i v1.6:

HP-UX 11i Version 1.6 is the release for all Itanium®-based HP-UX systems. The Release ID for HP-UX 11i Version 1.6 is B.11.22, and we use the term HP-UX 11i v1.6 throughout this install guide. The HP-UX 11i v1.6 Operating Environments (OE) are integrated and tested software solutions containing the operating system and selected applications.

Precision Architecture Reduced Instruction Set Computing (PA-RISC)-based systems should continue to run HP-UX 11i (Release ID B.11.11) or earlier releases. HP-UX 11i v1.6 does not run on PA-RISC based systems.

Mission Critical Support

If your system is on HP Mission Critical Support, discuss the proper method of installing and patching the OE with your HP Customer Engineer.

Features and Enhancements

The HP-UX 11i v1.6 release includes the following major features and enhancements:

  • Built from the 11i source stream so it contains:

    • Same "look & feel" as the 11i version on PA-RISC

    • 100% leverage of system administrator expertise

    • Same layered software products

  • Built for 64-way scalability

  • Full HP-UX 11i OS functionality with the exception of vPars

  • New OS functionality not yet available on PA-RISC:

    • MxN threads for improved Java performance

    • Dynamically tunable kernel parameters include 14 new parameters

  • Full support of the Logical Volume Manager (LVM) product. LVM is now the default volume manager.

  • Support for running most PA-RISC applications on Itanium-based systems without recompiling.

  • New commands and functionality.

  • Enhancements to existing commands and functionality.

  • Availability of more products in Native mode.

To complete the review in this chapter, we estimate you require 1 hour to review the new features, media kit contents, different operating environments, install guide contents, other resources, and the cold-install checklist. Please note that your time may vary.
