The HP-UX 11i Operating Environments (OEs)
new at 11i original
release
Beginning with HP-UX 11i version 1, the operating system is delivered as part of an
HP-UX Operating Environment (OE), 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.
• The Hardware Enablement Patch Bundle (HWEnable11i), which enables the latest
hardware on HP-UX 11i. Only a few patches are added at each quarterly release to
minimize the number of patches needed to support new systems and I/O devices.
• The Feature Enablement Bundle (FEATURE11-11), which contains additional
software and patches to enable installed HP-UX 11i software and functionality.
• BUNDLE11i contains required OS patches, and is installed by default.
• Network and I/O drivers that are required by the operating system, plus other,
selectable drivers. The always-installed drivers include the following:
