Where Should I Begin?
This document contains information about the release of HP-UX 11i as of September
2001. In this document the release might be referred to as “HP-UX 11i as of September
2001,” “HP-UX 11i,” or just "11i". Also included in this document is 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 Core Enhancements) releases (for servers and workstations) since 11.0.
If your organization did not receive any of the Extension Pack or ACE releases, then all
of the information in this document will represent new information to you. If, on the
other hand, your organization did receive one or more of these releases, then you may
already be familiar with some of the material.
Material that customers have not seen prior to HP-UX 11i is indicated by the phrase
new at 11i original release in the title of a section. Material that covers features
introduced in the June 2001 version of HP-UX 11i is marked with new or updated for
June 2001 in the title of the section. Material that covers features introduced in the
September 2001 version of HP-UX 11i is marked with new or updated for September
2001 in the title of the section. The June and September 2001 changes are summrized
later in this chapter.
Be sure to examine the “HP-UX 11i Installation and Update Guide, part number
5185-6511, for details on performing an installation.
If you are updating to 11i from a release other than 11.0 (as opposed to cold-installing),
your system must first be running either HP-UX 11.0 or 10.20. For help updating to 11.0
or 10.20, you should consult the installing and updating documentation and the release
notes documentation for either 11.0 or 10.20 on the http://docs.hp.com web site.
