D HP-UX 11i v3 Software Bundles Contained in the New
OEs
This appendix describes the software bundles included in the HP-UX 11i v3 new
Operating Environments. With the March 2008 release, HP presents a set of new
Operating Environments for HP-UX 11i v3. These new Operating Environments provide
a richer set of products and improved choices over the original set of HP-UX 11i OEs.
For more information on transition, mapping, etc. from original OEs to new OEs please

HP-UX 11i v3 has an Operating Environment (OE) structure that provides more
flexibility in managing the products you wish to install and update on your system.
The OE structure for HP-UX 11i v3 separates software components into several product
categories, making it easier and more reliable for you to incrementally update your
system with OE software components.
• Required: Software and administration tools needed to create a minimally bootable
and maintainable system. Only 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.
• Recommended: Software bundles that HP recommends you install because it fulfills
software dependencies, if any exist. You can, however, manually de-select the
bundles before you install or update your system.
• Optional: Software bundles that are not installed or updated by default. You must
manually select these bundles before you install or update your system.
