NOTE: The latest OE Update Release (OEUR) media and Application Release (AR) media
include new and updated software. The HP-UX 11i v2 and v3 OEUR media include all standard
patch bundles. The AR media only include the FEATURE11i patch bundle for applications that
require patches during installation. Patch bundles can be obtained from the ITRC.
New hardware support might require patches from the HWE patch bundle, along with diagnostics
and new or updated drivers in I/O bundles. Additional HP software can be obtained from the
Software Depot. The new hardware components are only claimed and enabled after software
installation completes.
