HP-UX 11i v3 is an enterprise release delivering the highest
level of integrated virtualization and automation. HP-UX 11i v3 dynamically
reduces complexity and cuts deployment times to maximize return on
investment.
The HP-UX 11i v3 release supports both HP Integrity servers
and HP 9000 servers, including those based on dual-core Intel Itanium
2 processors. HP-UX 11i v3 is engineered to maintain compatibility
with previous HP-UX 11i releases.
The dual-core Intel Itanium 2 processor supports Hyper-Threading.
This feature is transparent to the applications, except for the small
number of applications that assume the number of cores and the number
of processors is the same. To all other applications, each hardware
thread appears as an additional processor.
This chapter introduces you to the media kit contents and OEs
of HP-UX 11i v3 (B.11.31). The HP-UX 11i v3
