HP-UX 11i v1.6 Operating Environments (OEs)

Beginning with HP-UX 11i, the operating system is delivered as part of an HP-UX Operating Environment (OE), an integrated and tested software solution containing the operating system and selected applications.

In HP-UX 11i v1.6, the operating system and selected applications are provided on DVDs. To install the full OE, both DVDs are necessary. If you do a minimum install, the always-installed applications are the only applications included.

HPUXBase64, which consists of operating system commands and libraries bundled for 64-bit systems.
HPUXBaseAux, which includes system manageability software such as Event Monitoring Service (EMS), Judy Libraries, Software Distributor (SD), Update-UX, and the new kernel configuration tool, kcweb. This additional required core software is also referred to as the Auxiliary OS.
Always installed network and I/O drivers required by the operating system and installed by default:
- Fibre Channel Tachlite HBA driver for the PCI adapter
- intl100 driver for the A6792A card
- 100BASE-T driver for Ethernet adapters
- 1000Base-T/SX (Gigabit Ethernet) drivers for cards A4926A, A6825A, A6794A and A6847A
- SCSI Ultra4 interface driver for Itanium-based systems with the LSI 53C1030 SCSI Ultra4 controller
Other always installed products include:
- OnlineDiag, installed by default, which provides the HP-UX 11i v1.6 Diagnostics that include STM, ODE, and EMS hardware monitors.
- Base VERITAS Volume Manager 3.1 for HP-UX (VxVM). This is the same product that was delivered in the HP-UX 11i v1.5 release although it is no longer the default volume manager.
  For more information, see the HP-UX 11i Version 1.6 Release Notes.
- Java JRE v1.3
- HP Apache-based Web Server v1.3
- Perl v5.6.1
The Logical Volume Manager (LVM) is the HP-UX proprietary volume manager and is now the default volume manager for HP-UX.

Selectable software contains the additional products that you can select. These products include:
- HP-UX Install Utilities
- Intrusion Detection System IDS/9000 (C.02.01) - only available on Commercial Server media

Operating Environments for HP Commercial Servers

The OE for commercial servers contains all base functionality that is common to other OEs, including the base 64-bit HP-UX Operating System, network drivers, and other always-installed functionality. In addition, this OE includes:

Common Internet File System (CIFS)/9000 Server (as delivered in HP-UX 11i)
CIFS/9000 Client A.01.08 (as delivered in HP-UX 11i)
Netscape Communicator 4.79
Pluggable Authentication Modules (PAM) Kerberos

Operating Environments for HP Workstations and Technical Servers

The following HP-UX 11i v1.6 Operating Environments are available for Itanium-based workstations and technical servers:

HP-UX 11i v1.6 Minimal Technical OE (MTOE). Available for workstations only. Contains all the base functionality that is common to other OEs, including the base 64-bit HP-UX Operating System, network drivers, and other always-installed functionality. However, it includes only a sparse set of high-demand applications so as not to increase purchase costs, support costs, or license costs over the base OE. These applications are:
- 3D Graphics Developers Kit and Runtime Environment (RTE)
- Netscape Communicator 4.79
- Technical System Configuration (TechSysConf)
  See the HP-UX 11i v1.6 Release Notes for specific information including important potential impact information.
HP-UX 11i v1.6 Technical Computing OE (TCOE). Contains the HP-UX 11i v1.6 MTOE, and additional applications to enable a workstation or technical server. These applications are:
- CIFS/9000 Server version A.01.08 (as delivered in HP-UX 11i)
- CIFS/9000 Client version A.01.08 (as delivered in HP-UX 11i)
- Math Libraries (MLIB)
- Message Passing Interface (MPI)
- Pluggable Authentication Modules (PAM) Kerberos

Offline Diagnostics

Offline Diagnostics are on the Itanium-based Processor Offline Diagnostics and Utilities CD (MPN: 5971-4208). The CD is delivered with the hardware and is non-OS dependent (it is not delivered with the HP-UX 11i v1.6 media kit). It contains diagnostics for the rx5670 server, rx2600 server, zx2000 server, and zx6000 workstation.

The HP Server rx4610 Support Utilities CD (MPN: A6153-10004) contains diagnostics for the rx4610 server.
