Supported Network Drivers, Mass Storage Drivers, I/O Cards, and Storage Devices

Before installing HP-UX 11i v3, make sure that the drivers, I/O cards, and storage devices on your system are supported.

You can run the msv2v3check script to validate whether the drivers, mass storage I/O cards, and mass storage devices installed on your system are supported on HP-UX 11i v3. This script will report if any unsupported drivers, mass storage I/O cards, and mass storage devices are found on your system.

This script will also check the minimum firmware versions required for these cards or devices on your system to run properly on HP-UX 11i v3. You can retrieve the msv2v3check script from the HP software depot at:

For a list of supported and unsupported HP-UX I/O cards and mass storage devices, refer to the HP-UX Supported I/O Cards Matrix and the HP-UX Supported Mass Storage Devices Matrix at the HP Technical Documentation Web site:
