Enabling HP-UX Compressed Dump HP-UX 11i v2 (B.11.23) supports compressed dumps, which significantly speed up memory dump time for HP-UX in the event of a system crash. The initial HP-UX 11i 2 release supports uncompressed dumps by default. To enable (turn on) the compressed dump feature: • Select the compressed dump option within 10 seconds of a system crash. • Turn crashdump compression ON using crashconf(1M).
If you want to turn the compressed dump option ON and have it remain persistent across reboots, you must do the following: 1. Run the following command: crashconf -t -c ON 2. Modify the /etc/rc.config.d/crashconf file. For more information about compressed dumps, see the following: • The crashconf(1M) manpage • HP-UX 11i Version 2 Release Notes • HP-UX 11i Compressed Dump Release Notes Note All of these resources are available on the Web: http://docs.hp.
HP-UX 11i v2 Operating System You can install HP-UX 11i v2 with or without an Operating Environment. However, we strongly recommend installing a complete OE.
Note Installing or removing individual products in an OE may lead to dependency issues. For more help on this, see the HP-UX 11i Version 2 Release Notes. Standard HP-UX Patch Bundles Standard HP-UX bundles supply diagnostics and patches for HP-UX core files, applications, and diagnostic products. These always-installed bundles enable new hardware and fix known defects, and provide diagnostics tools. In some cases, a patch may deliver new software functionality.

MC/ServiceGuard and Workload Manager to enable a mission-critical server. This OE is bundled as HPUX11i-OE-MC. • HP-UX 11i v2 Minimal Technical Operating Environment (MTOE) — Designed for workstations running HP-UX 11i v2, this OE includes the Mozilla Application Suite, Perl, VxVM, and Judy applications, plus the OpenGL Graphics Developer’s Kit. This OE is bundled as HPUX11i-MTOE.
Reasons to Install an HP-UX 11i v2 OE • You can easily install or update to the latest versions of popular applications in each OE via a single software bundle installed with a single reboot (a second reboot is needed if system firmware needs upgrading). In other words, there is no need to install or update those applications separately. • All applications included in each OE have been thoroughly install-tested on supported systems, ensuring a successful installation on your system.

with 64-bit indices - PHKL_30155 enables PAL calls with 64-bit indices The HWEnable11i patch bundle MUST be installed on all hp mx2 dual processor module systems; failure to do so will result in system instability. Both patches are kernel patches and will require you to reboot your system. Non-Critical Patch Warning: PHSS_29710 When installing the March 2004 HWEnable11i bundle on a system with an existing 11.23 OE, it is necessary to apply the workaround from the warning text (shown below) for PHSS_29710.
Warn: 04/02/02 - This Non-Critical Warning has been issued by HP. - PHSS_29710 does not completely install all of the dynamically loadable kernel modules (DLKMs) included in the patch. As a result, systems with ATI Fire GL X1 and Fire GL Z1 video systems will lose Xserver overlay visuals and will not be able to run OpenGL applications. - The following steps may be used to resolve this issue.
