HP-UX Workload Manager A.03.05.xx Release Notes for HP-UX 11i v3

1. Verify that HP-UX is up-to-date
HP suggests that as part of your systems ongoing maintenance and support, the systems be
kept up-to-date through the HP IT Resource Center’s Support Plus program. This program
delivers quarterly patch bundles via the web and as part of the quarterly AR media. To register,
go to the following location:
http://itrc.hp.com
Select the patch/firmware database link and register to create an account and log in, as
instructed. After logging in, scroll down to the “find standard patch bundles section and select
“HP-UX patch bundles. The bundles of interest are “Quality Pack and “Support Plus”.
For HP-UX 11i v1 (B.11.11), the recommended bundles are described in the following table:
Table 2 HP-UX 11i v1 (B.11.11) general support patches

If you are using HP-UX 11i v1 (B.11.11) and are interested in using processor sets (PSETs),
you can download software (to support processor sets) from the following location:

Select the Patches/support link and search for processor sets. This software also corrects
several problems (see the section “System panic when PRM is enabled; install failure in absence
of PRM when certain kernel patches are present (page 7)).
NOTE: Install GOLDQPK11i before installing the processor sets software—unless you are
using a depot to install them at the same time.
