HP-UX 11i Operating Environments (OEs)

Beginning with HP-UX 11i, 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 select applications.

In HP-UX 11i v1.6, the operating system and selected applications are provided on a set

of DVDs. To install the full OE, all DVDs are necessary. For specific information, refer to

HP-UX 11i Version 1.6 Installation and Configuration Guide, part number 5187-0187

The following software bundles are always delivered with each HP-UX Operating

Environment. Thus, if you do a minimum install, these bundles, plus the HP-UX

applications within each OE, will be loaded:

• HPUXBase64, which consists of operating system commands and libraries bundled for

64-bit systems.

• HPUXBaseAux, which includes system manageability software such as Event

Monitoring Service (EMS), Judy Libraries, Software Distributor (SD), Update-UX,

and the new kernel configuration tool, kcweb. This additional required core software

is also referred to as the Auxiliary OS.

• Always-Installed network and I/O drivers required by the operating system and

installed by default are:

— Fibre Channel Tachlite HBA driver for the PCI adapter

— intl100 driver for the A6792A card
