HP-UX 11i Version 1 Release Overview
The HP-UX 11i Operating Environments
Chapter 3

The HP-UX 11i Operating Environments
new at 11i original
release
Beginning with HP-UX 11i version 1, the operating system is delivered as part of an
HP-UX Operating Environment (OE), an integrated and tested software solution
containing the operating system and selected applications.
The following software bundles are always delivered with an Operating Environment.
Thus, if you do a minimum install, these bundles, plus the HP-UX applications within
each OE, will be loaded:
• HPUXBase32 or HPUXBase64, which consist of operating system commands and
libraries bundled for either 32- or 64-bit systems.
• HPUXBaseAux, which includes system manageability software such as Software
Distributor (SD) and the Partition Manager (parmgr). This additional required core
software is also referred to as the Auxiliary OS.
• The Hardware Enablement Patch Bundle (HWEnable11i), which enables the latest
hardware on HP-UX 11i. Only a few patches are added at each quarterly release to
minimize the number of patches needed to support new systems and I/O devices.
• The Feature Enablement Bundle (FEATURE11-11), which contains additional
software and patches to enable installed HP-UX 11i software and functionality.
• BUNDLE11i, which contains required OS patches and is installed by default.
• Networking and mass storage drivers that are required by the operating system,
plus other, selectable drivers. For further information about the driver bundles
delivered with each OE, including currently supported cards, see Chapter 7,
“Networking and Mass Storage Drivers,” on page 175.
• OnlineDiag, installed by default, which provides the HP-UX 11i Diagnostics
(Support Tools) that include STM, ODE, and EMS hardware monitors.
• CDE-English: CDE language (such as for English or alternate languages).
NOTE The products included with each OE are described in Chapter 6, “HP-UX 11i Version 1
Operating Environment Applications,” on page 109. For the contents of each OE, see
Table 6-1 on page 111.
Note that some applications may require post-installation configuration; for details, see
the current HP-UX 11i Installation and Update Guide, available at
http://docs.hp.com.
Operating Environments for HP Commercial Servers
The following lists each 11i v1 Operating Environment available for HP servers. These
