Hardware Enablement Patch Bundle for HP-UX 11i v2 (11.23)

Hardware Enablement (HWE) Patch Bundle, HWEnable11i, for HP-UX 11i v2 provides patches required for new systems and for add-on hardware supported on HP-UX 11i v2, including I/O adapters and devices.

The HWE bundle supports current hardware products (for HP Integrity Servers and HP PA-RISC servers) shipped after the September 2004 release of HP-UX 11i v2 Operating Environments (OEs). HP Integrity workstations and PA-RISC workstations are not supported with the latest HP-UX 11i v2 OE releases.

Summary of Change

The HWEnable11i bundle includes patches for support with Intel® Integrity® Family 9100 Processors and PCIe SAS I/O adapters in HP Integrity Servers, and Mezzanine I/O adapters for HP Integrity Server Blades. Minimal HP-UX support requires other HWE components from this OE Update release that includes diagnostics, I/O driver bundles, along with the Ignite-UX product. HP recommends a full update to the desired OE option from the latest 11i v2 OE Update release for full HP-UX support with the updated versions of the manageability and configuration tools.
