new at 11i original release

Beginning with HP-UX 11i version 1, 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.

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

  • HPUXBase32 or HPUXBase64, which consist of operating system commands and libraries bundled for either 32- or 64-bit systems.

  • HPUXBaseAux, which includes system manageability software such as Software Distributor (SD) and the Partition Manager (parmgr). This additional required core software is also referred to as the Auxiliary OS.

  • The Hardware Enablement Patch Bundle (HWEnable11i), which enables the latest hardware on HP-UX 11i. Only a few patches are added at each quarterly release to minimize the number of patches needed to support new systems and I/O devices.

  • The Feature Enablement Bundle (FEATURE11-11), which contains additional software and patches to enable installed HP-UX 11i software and functionality.

  • BUNDLE11i, which contains required OS patches and is installed by default.

  • Network and mass storage drivers that are required by the operating system, plus other, selectable drivers. The always-installed drivers include the following:

    • FDDI-00: drivers for PCI FDDI (A3739A, A3739B)

    • FibrChanl-00: drivers for PCI Fibre Channel (A5158A, A6684A) and HSC Fibre Channel (A6685A, A6795A)

    • FibrChanl-01: drivers for dual port Fibre Channel adapter A6826A and the Fibre Channel portion of the PCI-X 2 Gb Fibre Channel/1000Base-SX Combination cards A9782A (fibre) and A9784A (copper).

    • GigEther-00: 1000Base-T/SX (Gigabit Ethernet) drivers for cards A4924A, A4925A, A4926A, and A4929A

    • GigEther-01: driver for add-in cards A6825A and A6847A (64-bit only). GigEther-01 is also for the Gigabit port on the PCI-X 2 Gb Fibre Channel/1000Base-SX Combination cards A9782A (fibre) and A9784A (copper).

    • IEther-00: driver for the PCI-X 2-Port 1000Base-SX (fiber-based) card (A7011A) and the PCI-X 2-Port 1000Base-T (copper-based) card (A7012A)

    • RAID-00: driver for the PCI RAID 4Si controller (64-bit OS; A5856A)

    • scsiU320-00: driver for the PCI-X Dual Channel Ultra320 SCSI Host Bus Adapter (A7173A)

    (For further information, see Chapter 7 “Networking and Mass Storage Drivers”.)

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

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

Operating Environments for HP Commercial Servers

The following lists each 11i Operating Environment available for HP servers. These Operating Environments are supported on all HP servers, including technical servers. They are not supported on technical workstations.

  • HP-UX 11i Foundation OE. The standard Internet server environment for HP-UX systems. It includes Java, the HP-UX Apache-based Web Server, Mozilla, and other applications.[1] This OE is included without additional charge.

  • HP-UX 11i Enterprise OE. Contains the HP-UX 11i Foundation OE and additional applications to enable an enterprise-level server. Products include OnLineJFS 3.3, GlancePlus, MirrorDisk/UX, and other applications.[1]

  • HP-UX 11i Mission Critical OE. Contains both the HP-UX 11i Foundation OE and the HP-UX 11i Enterprise OE plus applications to enable a mission-critical server, such as MC/ServiceGuard and HP-UX Workload Manager.[1]

NOTE: The 11i, Enterprise, and Mission Critical OEs are also supported on technical servers. (They are not supported on technical workstations, however.)

Operating Environments for HP Technical Workstations and Technical Servers

updated for June 2001

The following 11i Operating Environments are available for HP technical workstations and technical servers:

  • HP-UX 11i Minimal Technical OE (new for June 2001). Contains all the base functionality that is common to the other four OEs, including the base 32/64 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 Foundation OE.[1]

  • HP-UX 11i Technical Computing OE. contains applications to enable a technical workstation or technical server.[1]



[1] All products included with each OE are described in Chapter 6 “HP-UX 11i Version 1.0 Operating Environment Applications”. Some applications may require post-installation configuration; see the current HP-UX 11i Installation and Update Guide for details.
