What’s in This Document?
The HP-UX 11i Release Notes describes what is new, has changed, or has become
obsolete with HP-UX 11i version 1 since the initial release of HP-UX 11.0. It applies only
to features that are included in the HP-UX operating system or one of the five Operating
Environments (discussed in Chapter 3, “HP-UX 11i Version 1 Release Overview,” on
page 57).
The HP-UX 11i Release Notes describes these changes made to HP-UX:
• Changes introduced after the initial release of HP-UX 11.0 as part of Extension
Packs and/or ACE releases. (These changes were subsequently incorporated into
HP-UX 11i v1.)
• Changes introduced at the initial release of HP-UX 11i v1.
• Changes introduced subsequent to the initial release of HP-UX 11i v1.
This book is organized in such a way that you need only read Chapter 2, “What’s New at
a Glance,” on page 23 for a quick overview of what is new, has changed, and has been
deprecated or obsoleted in the current and previous releases of HP-UX 11i v1. For
further information about a particular item, you can go to the appropriate section in the
remainder of the book.
HP-UX 11i v1 system release notes can be found in the following locations:
• The HP-UX Instant Information media.
• At the Web site http://docs.hp.com/hpux/os/11i/index.html.
The system release notes for the initial release (December 2000) of HP-UX 11i v1 can
also be found in the /usr/share/doc directory. Please note, however, that the Release
Notes found in this directory only pertain to the initial (December 2000) release and do
not contain the many updates that have occurred since then.
Additional product-specific release notes files are located in the /opt directory, in
sub-directories named /opt/
product_name
/newconfig/RelNotes, where
product_name
represents the name of the product to which those release notes apply.
(For example, Distributed Computing Environment [DCE] release notes are located in
the /opt/dce/newconfig/RelNotes directory.) Further product-specific information can
also be found at individual product Web sites and at http://docs.hp.com. Check
corresponding sections in the HP-UX 11i Release Notes for specific URLs.

and Support Plus, as well as up-to-the-minute software announcements and
