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 89)
• Event Monitoring Service (EMS) (see page 92)
• HP-UX Support Tools: STM, ODE, & EMS Hardware Monitors (see page 95)
• Netscape Communicator (see page 98)
• OpenGL 3D Graphics Developers Kit and Runtime Environment (see page 117)
• Partition Manager (parmgr) (see page 48)
• Perl Programming Language (see page 99)
• Software Distributor (SD-UX) (see page 156)
• Technical System Configuration (TechSysConf) (see page 118)
• Update-UX (see page 155)
For the available selectable products for this OE, see Table 6-2 on page 87.
