HP-UX 11i Minimal Technical Operating Environment
(MTOE)
new for
June 2001
New for June 2001, the Minimal Technical Operating Environment (MTOE) is the
smallest and most fundamental OE that is defined specifically for HP workstations. It
exists to offer an HP-UX 11i solution to the customer who is interested in a low-cost HP
Workstation and a correspondingly basic Operating Environment. The Minimal
Technical Operating Environment is directed to the Workstation OEM market and to
those customers for whom the Technical Computing Operating Environment (TCOE) is
not a suitable solution.
The MTOE contains all the base functionality that is common to the other four OEs,
including the base 32/64-bit HP-UX Operating System, network drivers, and other
always-installed applications. However, compared to the Technical Computing Operating
Environment, the set of additional applications is greatly reduced.
The MTOE is positioned to deliver a lean set of high-demand applications that do not
increase purchase cost, support cost, or license cost over the base Operating System.
The HP-UX 11i Minimal Technical Operating Environment includes these
always-installed applications:
• Base VERITAS Volume Manager (VxVM) (see page 99)
• Event Monitoring Service (EMS) (see page 103)
• HP-UX Support Tools: STM, ODE, & EMS Hardware Monitors (see page 109)
• Netscape Communicator (see page 112)
• OpenGL 3D Graphics Developers Kit and Runtime Environment (see page 132)
• Partition Manager (parmgr) (see page 54)
• Perl Programming Language (see page 113)
• Software Distributor (SD-UX) (see page 176)
• Technical System Configuration (TechSysConf) (see page 133)
• Update-UX (see page 175)
For the available selectable products for this OE, see Table 6-2 on page 97.
OpenGL 3D Graphics Developers Kit and Runtime Environment
The OpenGL 3D Graphics Developers Kit and Runtime Environment is delivered
through the Graphics and Technical Computer Environment bundle (B6268AA), which
also provides the following 3D APIs: Starbase, PEX, Phigs and OGL.
updated for
September 2002
The Graphics and Technical Computer Environment bundle (B6268AA) has been
updated to version B.11.11.10.01. New functionality has been added, namely support for
FireGL-UX. (For more information, see “Graphics Hardware Support” on page 86.)
NOTE As of the September 2002 11i release, HP 3D Graphics are no longer supported on
PA-RISC systems older than 2.0. The 3D graphics code is now optimized for PA 2.0
(64-bit capable) processors and will not execute on older PA-RISC microprocessors.
