Standard HP-UX Bundle Considerations
Standard HP-UX bundles supply diagnostics and patches for HP-UX core
files, applications, and diagnostic products. These bundles enable new
hardware, fix known defects, and provide diagnostics tools. In some
cases, a patch may deliver new software functionality.
All bundle software is cumulative and replaces completely any previous
bundle release for the same operating system (OS) release. See
Appendix D, “Software Distribution Media,” on page 173 for a listing of
the always-installed, default-installed, and selectable software bundles.
Support Plus Media Updates
For HP-UX 11i v2 (B.11.23) and later, Support Plus media is no longer
available. All content on the Support Plus media is now incorporated into
the Operating Environments (OEs) media. The content includes
diagnostics and patch bundles.
For HP-UX 11i v1 (B.11.11), Support Plus media updates are still
available twice yearly in June and December.
Patch Management Resources
The Patch Management User Guide for HP-UX 11.x Systems provides
information and procedures on how to acquire and install standard
HP-UX patch bundles, including the HWE and QPK bundles. Go to the
