Manual Pages

For the HP-UX 11i v2 release, the manual pages (manpages) are available on the HP-UX Welcome Page of your system, on the Instant Information DVD in the HP-UX Reference document, through the use of the man command, and on the HP Technical Documentation Web site: http://docs.hp.com/hpux/os/11iV2/index.html#HP-UX%20Reference%20%28Manpages%29

HP-UX Welcome Page

The HP-UX Welcome Page on your HP-UX 11i v2 system contains pointers to information to help you use your HP-UX system.

Release Notes

The HP-UX 11i v2 Release Notes describe what is new, has changed, and has been deprecated or obsoleted in the current release compared to the previous HP-UX 11i v2 release.

You can find the release notes in the following locations:

README (Read Before Installing) Documents

README documents or Read Before Installing (RBI) media booklets contain information about the installation process that may not appear in this HP-UX 11i v2 Installation and Update Guide. Any product contained in the release may have a README document, so several README documents may be included. The Read Before Installing or Updating to HP-UX 11i v2 booklet is included with your media kit.

Bundle Readme Files

Bundle readme files (in text and HTML formats) contain additional installation instructions, notes about problems in current and previous releases, a list of patches and their dependencies, and changes since the last release. You can print or view these files directly from the DVD, for example:

more /dvd_mount_point/DOCS/PATCH/QPK1123.readme.html

Each bundle readme file in HTML format contains hyperlinks to the patch text files, located at the same directory level as each bundle. You can enter a URL into a web browser to view these files directly from the DVD, for example:

file:/dvd_mount_point/DOCS/PATCH/QPK1123.readme.html

Patch Text Files

Patch text files for all patches are on the DVD in the /dvd_mount_point/DOCS/PATCH/TEXT_FILES directory. These files provide detailed information about the patch. Patch text files are also included with individual patches that you retrieve from HP. You can print or view these directly from the DVD, for example:

more /dvd_mount_point/DOCS/PATCH/TEXT_FILES/PHSS_xxxxx.text
