This appendix describes the software bundles included in the HP-UX 11i v3 media
contents.
HP-UX 11i v3 has a new OE structure that provides more flexibility in managing the
products you wish to install and update on your system. The new OE structure makes
it easier and more reliable to incrementally update your system with OE software
components. HP-UX 11i v3 contains three types of 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.
