HP-UX 11i Version 2 December 2007 Release Notes

Where Should I Begin?
This book is organized in such a way that you need only read Chapter 3: “What is New at a
Glance” (page 39) for a quick overview of what is new, has changed, and has been deprecated
or obsoleted in the current and previous releases of the HP-UX 11i v2 Operating Environments
(OE) and Software Pack (SPK).
The section “What is New in the December 2007 Release?” (page 40), in particular, will give you
a general overview of how this release differs from the June 2007 release of HP-UX 11i v2 (B.11.23).
For further information about a particular item, you can go to the corresponding section in the
remainder of the book or, if the item pertains to a previous release, to an earlier version of this
document.
NOTE: All features and products described in this document are delivered on the OE media,
unless otherwise noted.
HP-UX system release notes can be found in the following locations:
• The HP-UX Instant Information media. See “HP-UX 11i v2 Instant Information Media”
(page 23) for more information.
• At the Web site http://www.docs.hp.com/hpux/os/11iV2/.
Be sure to consult the version most appropriate to your release. If you are concerned with just
the initial (October 2003) release of HP-UX 11i v2, consult the HP-UX 11i Version 2 Release Notes.
If, on the other hand, you are concerned about an update to the initial release, then you should
begin with the Release Notes version appropriate to that release. For instance, the HP-UX 11i
Version 2 September 2004 Release Notes would be most appropriate to the September 2004 update
release.
For details on performing an installation, be sure to review the appropriate HP-UX 11i Version
2 Installation and Update Guide at the above Web site.
For critical, late-breaking cold-install and update issues not in the HP-UX 11i Version 2 Installation
and Update Guide, you should also review the media booklet, Read Before Installing or Updating to
HP-UX 11i Version 2, which is also available at the above Web site.
NOTE: The most current version of these documents, as well as most HP documentation, can
