Table C-1 HP-UX 11i v3 software product categories (continued)
DescriptionSoftware category
All recommended (default-installed) bundles in the OEOE Recommended
All required (always-installed) bundles in the OEOE Required
Each of the above product categories contain software bundles that are further separated into
the following install types:
• Required: Software and administration tools needed to create a minimally bootable and
maintainable system. Only the drivers for basic hardware are included in this category. You
may need to install additional drivers to use all hardware components. Software in this
category cannot be deselected. This software is “always-installed.”
For a list of the required software bundles, see “Required (always-installed) software”
(page 92).
• Recommended: Software bundles that HP recommends you install because they fulfill
software dependencies, if any exist. You can, however, manually deselect the bundles before
you install or update your system. This software is “default-installed.”
To install a minimal operating system configuration (base OS) you can deselect the
recommended bundles. Only the minimal core OS will be installed on your system when
you deselect the recommended bundles. You can use the OE Recommended software product
category (listed in Table C-1 (page 91)) to select or deselect all recommended items.
CAUTION: HP recommends that you do not deselect recommended software bundles or
remove them from your system unless you know for certain that the software contained in
these bundles is not required for your operating environment. Software may have unstated
dependencies. Deselecting software may prevent products with dependencies on the software
you deselected from functioning correctly.
For a list of the recommended software bundles, see “Recommended (default-installed)
software” (page 94).
• Optional: Software bundles that are not installed or updated by default. You must manually
select these bundles before you install or update your system. This software is “selectable.”
For a list of the optional software bundles, see “Optional (selectable) software” (page 98).
Required (always-installed) software
The software listed in Table C-2 is required and always-installed with the HP-UX 11i v3 operating
system.
