11i v2 (from March 2006 onwards) and HP-UX 11i v3.
• As a depot file you download from the HP Software Depot Website for HP-UX

products. The IDS-KRN product is used to reduce the likelihood of a system reboot for
future HIDS software updates. The IDS product contains four filesets. Table 2-1 lists
