HP-UX 11i September 2002 Release Notes

HP-UX 11i Version 1.0 Operating Environment Applications
HP-UX 11i Minimal Technical Operating Environment (MTOE)
Chapter 6
121
If you have an older PA-RISC workstation and need local 3D graphics support, HP
recommends that you not update to the September 2002 release (or later) of the
Technical Computing (TCOE) or Minimal Computing (MCOE) Operating Environments.
The previous releases of HP-UX 11i contain 3D graphics code that will execute on any
PA-RISC microprocessor.
You can determine the PA version with the System Administration Manager (SAM) by
selecting “Performance Monitors” and then “System Properties.” The PA version appears
on the line labeled “CPU Version.”

Technical System Configuration (TechSysConf)
By delivering part of the functionality that was featured in Easy Setup HP-UX 11.0
(product B5532A) for HP Workstations, the TechSysConf bundle addresses the need of
HP workstation and technical server customers for improved out-of-the-box
performance. The TechSysConf bundle (version B.11.11.xx) is an always-installed part of
the MTOE (and, by extension, the TCOE).
updated for
September 2002
The TechSysConf bundle (containing the TC-SysSetup product, version B.11.00.02.xx,
and TC-OpenSource product, version B.11.00.02.xx) has been updated to incorporate the
following changes:
• The TechSysConf bundle now increases the target system disk space occupancy by
only 90MB (rather than 140MB).
• NFS daemons are now only configured on systems with a physical memory size of at
least 128MB.
• TechSysConf no longer installs an /etc/nsswitch.conf file. However, it still
delivers a name service switch file (/etc/nsswitch.TC-SysSetup) which can be
used to configure sources and lookup orders (for mail aliases, host names, passwords,
etc.) suitable for most technical computing environments.
