  1. Confirm that your server and HP-UX operating system version are supported by the controller. Use the swlist command to determine the HP-UX version you are using. For example:

    # swlist | grep OE
      HPUX11i-OE-MC         B.11.31.0709   HP-UX Mission Critical Operating
    Environment

    Table 1-1 lists the minimum HP-UX version requirements for each controller:
