What’s in This Document?
HP-UX 11i Release Notes contains information about the release of HP-UX 11i as of
March 2002. It applies only to features that are included in the HP-UX operating system
or one of the five Operating Environments (discussed later in this chapter under “What’s
HP-UX 11i?” on page 21).
In addition to changes made since the initial release of HP-UX 11i, this document
includes information on changes to HP-UX that occurred after the last major system
release, HP-UX 11.0, and which have been incorporated in HP-UX 11i. These latter
changes were made as part of less comprehensive releases known as Extension Pack
releases (for servers) and ACE (Additional CoreEnhancements) releases (for servers and
workstations). If your organization received one or more of these releases, then you may
already be familiar with some of the information. (If, on the other hand, your
organization did not receive any of the Extension Pack or ACE releases, then all of the
information in this document will be new to you.)
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 for which those release notes apply).
(For example, Distributed Computing Environment [DCE] release notes are located in
the /opt/dce/newconfig/RelNotes directory.)
