which only supported Itanium-based systems. HP-UX 11i v2 September 2004 was
delivered via updated OEs and the BUNDLE11i patch bundle. All patches from the March
2004 Quality Pack were superseded by dual-architecture patches (that is, patches for
both Itanium-based and PA-RISC platforms) which were placed in BUNDLE11i, thus
there was not a Quality Pack in the September 2004 release of HP-UX 11i v2.
The May 2005 release of HP-UX 11i v2 once again contained the Quality Pack, as will
future releases of HP-UX 11i v2. All Quality Packs are cumulative, thus the March 2006
HP-UX 11i v2 Quality Pack is a superset of the December 2005 HP-UX 11i v2 Quality
Pack.
Impact
There are no impacts other than that described previously.
Compatibility
If you choose to only load the March 2006 version of the Quality Pack without doing a
complete update to the March 2006 version of HP-UX 11i v2, you must first load the
September 2004 or later version of HP-UX 11i v2.
Performance
There are no known performance issues.
