The June 2006 update release of HP-UX 11i v2 continues to support both the HP 9000 and HP Integrity server families. This Enterprise update release offers the full range of HP-UX Operating Environments (OEs) and capabilities. Significant new capabilities include the following:

  • Support for the new Global Instant Capacity (GiCAP) capability.

  • Inclusion of Global Workload Manager (gWLM) in the HP Virtual Server Environment Management Software Suite (VSE) which can now manage virtual machines created with HP Integrity Virtual Machine software.

  • Tighter integration between HP Systems Insight Manager and HP Integrity Virtual Machines.

  • The Ignite-UX 11i v1 (B.11.11) installation kernel now includes the 4 GB patch to support files on ISO9660 media (CDFS) that are greater than 2 GB in size. SAS support is introduced, as well as the use of ssh for the creation of recovery images, providing enhanced security.

  • Hardware enablement for a number of graphics cards, network cards, and storage devices.

HP's Business Critical Servers group places a premium on customer and partner investment protection. HP-UX 11i v2 maintains compatibility between HP 9000 and HP Integrity servers in the following ways:

  • Common “look and feel” for HP-UX 11i on both server families Application Build Environment compatibility (source, makefile, and script compatibility) Data compatibility (identical data formats) Binary compatibility (the Aries dynamic code translation technology, a standard integrated component of every copy of HP-UX 11i for HP Integrity, executes HP 9000 programs on HP Integrity without recompiling or relinking)

With this June 2006 update, HP-UX 11i v2 continues as a transition bridge between the PA-RISC architecture and the Itanium®-based architecture, and continues to provide a smooth transition path for HP-UX customers and partners on to the next-generation Itanium®-based architecture.

NOTE: Before updating your system with any individual patches, patch bundles, or products released from September 2004 forward, you must consult the current Read Before Installing or Updating to HP-UX 11i Version 2 and the HP-UX 11i Version 2 Installation and Update Guide. Both are available at http://docs.hp.com/en/oshpux11iv2.html.
