Supported cluster software architecture
HP-UX 11i v2UD2 is the first HP-UX operating system release that supports both HP 9000 and HP
Integrity servers. Having this or a later version installed on all nodes is a prerequisite for configuring a
mixed PA / Integrity cluster. The following requirements exist on the cluster software:
• HP-UX 11i v2UD2 or later
– Mission-critical operating environment (MCOE) installed on all nodes
