Hardware Enablement Bundle for HP-UX 11i v3
Hardware Enablement Patch Bundle for HP-UX 11i v3 (HWEnable11i) provides patches required
for new systems and for add-on hardware supported on HP-UX 11i v3, including I/O adapters
and devices.
Summary of Change
For the March 2011 OEUR, the HWEnable11i bundle provides support for new HP Integrity Server
Blades, along with HP-UX support for older HP servers using PA8900 processors or Intel Itanium
processors. Minimal HP-UX support requires other HWE components from this OE Update release
that include the diagnostic products, WBEM Providers, I/O driver bundles, along with the Ignite-UX
product. HP recommends a full update to the desired OE option from the latest 11i OE Update
release for full HP-UX support with the updated versions of the manageability and configuration
tools.
This HWEnable11i bundle includes new HP-UX 11i v3 patches for support of the latest HP Integrity
systems with new Core I/O and chipsets. New patches were also added for >1TB LUN boot
support, graphics monitors, and future I/O adapters.
