The HP-UX 11i Operating Environments (OEs)

new at 11i

original release

Beginning with HP-UX 11i, 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.

• HWEnable11i patches, installed by default, which enable 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.

• Network and I/O drivers, installed by default, that are required by the operating

system and other selectable drivers. The default drivers include the following:

— FibrChanl-00: drivers for the PCI Fibre Channel HB adapter (64-bit OS)

— RAID-00: driver for the PCI RAID 4Si controller (64-bit OS)

— FDDI-00: FDDI drivers

— GigEther-00: 1000Base-T/SX (Gigabit Ethernet) drivers for cards A4924A,

A4925A, A4926A, and A4929A

— GigEther-01: driver for A6794A on HP server rp7410 and for add-in cards

A6825A and A6847A (64-bit only)

(See “Selectable Network Drivers” on page 133 in Chapter 6 for a list of the

selectable drivers.)

• OnlineDiag, installed by default, which provides the HP-UX 11i Diagnostics that

include STM, ODE, and EMS hardware monitors.

• CDE-English: CDE language (such as for English or alternate languages).
