System Requirements

This section lists systems that support HP-UX 11i. Unsupported systems are also listed in “Unsupported Systems”. To determine if HP-UX 11i is supported on your system, see “How to Identify Your System's Model, OS and Software” and compare your system information with Table 3-1 “Supported Systems”.

How to Identify Your System's Model, OS and Software

The following topics will show how to obtain your current system information:

Identify model

To determine the model number of your system, enter:

model

Verify that HP-UX 11i is supported on your system (see Table 3-1 “Supported Systems”).

Identify OS and OE

To identify the OS version that your system is currently running, enter:

uname -r

To update to HP-UX 11i, your system must be currently running either B.10.20 or B.11.00. After cold-installing or updating to HP-UX 11i, you'll notice that uname identifies the HP-UX 11i release as B.11.11.

When a system has HP-UX 11i installed, you can determine which revision of HP-UX 11i is installed by entering the following command:

/usr/sbin/swlist -l bundle

The HWEnable11i and HPUXBaseAux bundles indicate the current installed revision level. The revision level is indicated both in the bundle version number (for example, B.11.11.0209) and the description text (for example, Hardware Enablement Patches for HP-UX 11i, December 2002).

To identify the Operating Environment currently installed on your system, use swlist. For example:

/usr/sbin/swlist | grep "Operating Environment Component"

For example, the HP-UX 11i OE December 2002 release generates the following output:

HPUX11i-OE B.11.11.0303 HP-UX 11i Operating Environment Component

Identify installed software

To identify the software products on a system or media, use swlist. For example, to list all products and their versions on a CD mounted at /cdrom, enter:

/usr/sbin/swlist -s /cdrom

To get a table of contents and product details, enter:

/usr/sbin/swlist -dvl product -a readme @ /cdrom

swlist has many options to expand or narrow the listing to specific attributes; see the swinstall(1M) manpage or the Software Distributor Administrator Guide, available on the HP-UX 11i Instant Information CD and on this web site: http://docs.hp.com/hpux/os/11i/

After identifying all software products, compare the list with products that will be installed with the HP-UX 11i Operating Environment. See the Read Before Installing or Updating to HP-UX 11i media booklet.

Unsupported Systems

These workstations and graphics adapters are no longer supported:

Workstations: 705, 710, 715/33, 715/50, 715/75, 720, 725/50, 725/75, 730, 735, 750, 755
Graphics adapters: GRX, CRX, CRX-24, CRX-48Z
HP J3525A and J3526A PCI cards on these workstations: B1000, B2000, C3X00, J5000, J7000

C3700 and J6700 Workstations Need Processor Board Upgrade

C3700 and J6700 workstations currently support HP-UX 11.0 but require PA-8700 processor board upgrades (to version 2.3) to support HP-UX 11i. Contact your HP Customer Engineer for more details.

OLA/R Support

Online addition and replacement (OLA/R) is not supported on HP-UX 11i with the A5801A HIPPI PCI I/O adapter. The GigEther-01 driver also does not support OLA/R on rp7410 core cards. For more about OLA/R support, see “SCSI PCI Restrictions for OLA/R”" in Appendix B “Known Problems and Troubleshooting” and this web site:

HP 3D Graphics No Longer Supported pre PA-RISC 2.0 Systems

As of the September 2002 HP-UX 11i release, HP 3D Graphics are no longer supported on PA-RISC systems older than version 2.0. If you have an older PA-RISC workstation and need 3D Graphics, HP recommends that you do not install or update to the December 2002 release of the Technical Computing (TCOE) or Minimal Computing Operating Environments (MCOE).

Previous releases of HP-UX 11i still support PA-RISC 2.0 and older systems. If you have any questions about your particular situation, please contact your local HP Country Response Center.
