HP-UX 11i Minimal Technical Operating Environment
new for
June 2001
New for June 2001, the Minimal Technical Operating Environment 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 is not a suitable solution.
The Minimal Technical Operating Environment 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 Minimal Technical Operating Environment 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 68)
• Event Monitoring Service (EMS) (see page 70)
• HP-UX Support Tools: STM, ODE, & EMS Hardware Monitors (see page 73)
• Netscape Communicator (see page 75)
• OpenGL 3D Graphics Developers Kit and Runtime Environment (see page 91)
• Perl Programming Language (see page 75)
For the available selectable products for this OE, see Table 4-2 on page 66.

September 2001
