a. The HWEnable11i bundle, which is normally installed by default on the 11i OE media, provides the
patches that are required for the installation of these mass storage bundles. When updating an
existing 11i system, one can install the HWEnable11i bundle and the desired mass storage bundle
from the OE media in the same install session to meet software dependencies.
