Hardware Enablement Patch Bundle for HP-UX 11i v2

The Hardware Enablement Patch Bundle for HP-UX 11i v2 (HWEnable11i) provides

patches required for new systems and for add-on hardware supported on HP-UX 11i v2,

including I/O adapters and devices.

Summary of Change

The HWEnable11i bundle includes new support for PCI-Express I/O adapters in HP

Integrity Servers, and HP-UX support for HP servers with PA8900 processors and the

sx2000 chipset. Minimal HP-UX support requires other HWE components from this OE

Update release that includes diagnostics, I/O driver bundles, along with the Ignite-UX

product. HP recommends a full update to the desired OE option from the latest 11i v2

OE Update release for full HP-UX support with the updated versions of the

manageability and configuration tools.
