Introduction

HP recommends the installation of the HP-UX 11i v1 OE Update Release for December 2006 plus

the June 2007 OnLine Diagnostics Depot for full HP-UX support with these new HP 9000 servers.

Earlier OE releases will require the addition of key HP-UX components from the December 2006

OE release for minimal HP-UX support with new hardware. The key HP-UX components for

new hardware support include the latest HWEnable11i patch bundle, diagnostics and I/O driver

bundles, along with the Ignite-UX product. New servers may need the latest version of other

HP-UX applications from the current OE release for hardware support from the updated

manageability and configuration tools. See the following web site for more information on these

products: http://www.hp.com/go/hpux.

The configuration management products from the December 2006 release provides support for

all cell-based servers (including the new rp7440, rp8440, and SuperDome models) running the

HP-UX 11i v1 OE. In particular, the System Fault Management (SFM) bundle includes advanced

hardware fault technologies for these new systems. The HP-UX configuration management

products are delivered on the HP-UX 11i v1 OE media for December 2006, and are also available

from the HP Software Depot: http://www.hp.com/go/softwaredepot.

These servers also require the following HP-UX patches in addition to HP-UX components from

the December 2006 OE and June 2007 OnLine Diagnostics releases. The following HP-UX patches

have been included in the June 2007 11.11 QPK patch bundle. The QPK patch bundle and June

2007 OnLine Diagnostics Depot have been incorporated into the HP-UX 11i (B.11.11) Support

Plus media for June 2007.

NOTE: Install the 11.11 OnlineDiags from June 2007 before updating your server with the latest

system firmware. For more information, please see the release notes for this system firmware.
