The December 2007 update release of HP-UX 11i v2 continues to support both the HP 9000 and HP Integrity server families. This Enterprise update release offers the full range of HP-UX Operating Environments (OEs) and capabilities.

HP's Business Critical Servers group places a premium on customer and partner investment protection. HP-UX 11i v2 maintains compatibility between HP 9000 and HP Integrity servers in the following ways:

  • Common “look and feel” for HP-UX 11i on both server families

  • Application Build Environment compatibility (source, makefile, and script compatibility)

  • Data compatibility (identical data formats)

  • Binary compatibility (the Aries dynamic code translation technology, a standard integrated component of every copy of HP-UX 11i for HP Integrity, executes HP 9000 programs on HP Integrity without recompiling or relinking)

With this December 2007 update, HP-UX 11i v2 continues as a transition bridge between the PA-RISC architecture and the Itanium®-based architecture, and continues to provide a smooth transition path for HP-UX customers and partners on to the next-generation Itanium®-based architecture.

NOTE: Before updating your system with any individual patches, patch bundles, or products released from September 2004 forward, you must consult the current Read Before Installing or Updating to HP-UX 11i Version 2 and the HP-UX 11i Version 2 Installation and Update Guide. Both are available at http://www.docs.hp.com/hpux/os/11iV2.
