Impact
The HP-UX Support Tools have been modified to support new products,
such as, Superdome systems.
With HP-UX 11i, the Support Tools are automatically installed when the
Operating Environment bundle is installed from the HP-UX 11i
Operating Environment CD. It is no longer necessary to load the Support
Tools from the Support Plus Media.
The Support Plus Media, also containing the Support Tools, will continue
to be distributed. As always, offline tools are run from the Support Plus
CD, and they cannot be run from the HP-UX 11i Operating Environment
CD.
NOTE As of HP-UX 11i, Predictive Support is no longer distributed with the
Support Tools.
Disk space required by the HP-UX 11i Support Tools is comparable to
the disk space required for previous releases in the range of 60-70MB.
