Hardware Enablement Patch Bundle for HP-UX 11i v2

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

Summary of Change

The HWEnable11i bundle includes new support for PCI-Express I/O adapters in HP Integrity Servers, and HP-UX support for HP servers with PA8900 processors and the sx2000 chipset. 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.

HP Integrity BL860c blades with zx2 chipset and C-class enclosure
HP Integrity rx2660 server (2 single-core processors) with zx2 chipset
