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 select applications.

In HP-UX 11i v1.6, the operating system and selected applications are provided on a set of DVDs. To install the full OE, all DVDs are necessary. For specific information, refer to HP-UX 11i Version 1.6 Installation and Configuration Guide, part number 5187-0187

The following software bundles are always delivered with each HP-UX Operating Environment. Thus, if you do a minimum install, these bundles, plus the HP-UX applications within each OE, will be loaded:

  • 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 are:

    • 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 IPF systems with the LSI 53C1030 SCSI Ultra4 controller

  • Other Always-Installed products include:

    • OnlineDiag, installed by default, which provides the HP-UX 11i Diagnostics that include STM, ODE, and EMS hardware monitors.

    • Base VERITAS Volume Manager version 3.1 for HP-UX (VxVM). This is the same product that was delivered in the HP-UX 11i v1.5 release though it is no longer the default volume manager.

      (See Chapter 4 “File and Disk Management” for specific information.)

    • Java JRE v1.3

    • HP Apache-based Web Server

    • Perl

  • The Logical Volume Manager (LVM) is the HP-UX proprietary volume manager and is now the default volume manager for HP-UX.

  • CDE-English: CDE language (such as for English or alternate languages).

  • Selectable software contains the additional products that you can select. These products include:

    • HP-UX Install Utilities

    • Intrusion Detection System IDS/9000 (only available on Commercial Server media)

Operating Environment for HP Commercial Servers

The OE for commercial servers 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. In addition, this OE includes:

  • Common Internet File System (CIFS)/9000 Server version A.01.08 (as is delivered in HP-UX 11i v.1.0)

  • CIFS/9000 Client version A.01.08 (as is delivered in HP-UX 11i v.1.0)

  • Netscape Communicator

  • 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 HP9000 workstations and technical servers, though these OEs are not supported on technical workstations:

  • HP-UX 11i v1.6 Minimal Technical OE (MTOE). 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

    • Technical System Configuration (TechSysConf)

      See the “Technical System Configuration” 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 is delivered in HP-UX 11i v.1.0)

    • CIFS/9000 Client version A.01.08 (as is delivered in HP-UX 11i v.1.0)

    • Math Libraries (MLIB)

    • Message Passing Interface (MPI)

    • Pluggable Authentication Modules (PAM) Kerberos
