Introducing UX 11.23PI
The latest HP-UX release UX 11.23PI was released in Sep. 2004.
The official name is HP-UX 11i v2 update 2 or UX 11i v2 UPD2. The HP internal names are
11.23PI or 11.23 0409.
PI stands for PA-RISC & Itanium, so it is the first OS release that supports both platforms. PA-
RISC customers can benefit from the new features of 11.23.
Update paths
You can update from UX 11.11, 11.22 or 11.23.
1) For UX 11.11 you need to install the Update-UX product from the 11.23PI install media
to update.
2) For UX 11.22 you need to install the Aug 2004 BUNDLE11i patch bundle before
installing the Update-UX product.
3) For UX 11.23 you need to install the Aug 2004 BUNDLE11i patch bundle before
installing the Update-UX product.
ATTENTION: The Aug 2004 bundle contains 7 patches. Although each of them has been
replaced by the Sep 2004 base patch patch PHKL_31500 which itself is included in the Sep
bundle, the Aug bundle is still required because it solves kernel build problems. The Aug bundle
is required before installing PHKL_31500 or the Sep bundle which includes it.
ATTENTION: Even in case you are updating from previous 11.23 to 11.23PI you need to run
update-ux. Just installing the Aug and Sep patch bundles is not sufficient since these bundles do
not update the HPUXBaseAux bundle. If you omit update-ux then you won’t have the kcweb
TUI feature from SAM, e.g.
