HP-UX 11i v1 (B.11.11) patches
Several patches are needed to use PRM Version C.03.00 with HP-UX 11i v1. In addition,
HP-UX 11i v1 supports processor sets, although that support is provided by a software
download.
Software/patches available in Quality Packs Processor sets and the following patches,
or their successors, are available in recent Support Plus Quality Packs (available for download
from http://software.hp.com):
• Processor sets
The HP-UX Processor Sets feature is required to use the PSET functionality for PRM
Version C.03.00 on HP-UX 11i v1. This feature can be downloaded from the
http://software.hp.com page for the HP-UX Software Pack (Optional HP-UX 11i Core
Enhancements for September 2001). You must also install the HP-UX 11i June 2001 or
later Quality Pack.
