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.
Management and support of a system with a complete OE is
easier compared to separate installations of the operating
system and other software bundles.
