Workstation Firmware Requirements
updated for
March 2002
PHSS_25983 was released on January 11, 2002 to correctly update workstation
firmware when using an Ignite-UX server. To get the patch (and for further
instructions), go to the HP IT Resource Center (ITRC), at http://itrc.hp.com.
updated for
September 2001
Note that PHSS_24106 will automatically update PDC firmware on your workstation.
This HP-UX patch is included in the HWEnable11i bundle, and is always installed on
the workstation during a cold-install of any 11i OE.
Most workstations supporting 11.0 do not require a firmware upgrade to run HP-UX 11i.
For 64-bit operation, however, please note the following recommendations:
B1000, C3000 and J5000 systems manufactured before September 1999 require a
firmware upgrade prior to updating to HP-UX 11.x or 11i. For more detailed
information, see HP-UX 11i Installation and Update Guide.
Workstation Tuned Kernel Parameters
updated for
June 2001
As of the June 2001 release, kernel parameters for CAE and EE Engineering
workstation kernels will be optimized during the installation or update. If the system is
installed or updated using Ignite-UX (IUX), this occurs automatically.
1
If you install or
update manually, the optimization only occurs after you select one of the new
engineering workstation kernel sets via SAM.
