The HP-UX Operating Environment (OE)
Beginning with HP-UX 11i, the operating system is delivered as part of
the HP-UX Operating Environment (OE). An Operating Environment is
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.
