HP-UX technical documentation delivery
Beginning in August 2011, the web is the primary source of technical documentation for the HP-UX
Operating Environments and HP-UX Application Software. Web delivery supports HP’s Green
Business Technology Initiative to reduce packaging and also supports HP’s goal to keep HP-UX
technical documentation up-to-date and easily accessible.
The documentation can be viewed, downloaded, and printed from the web. For pointers to HP-UX

HP Insight Remote Support Software
HP strongly recommends that you install HP Insight Remote Support software to complete the
installation or upgrade of your product and to enable enhanced delivery of your HP Warranty,
HP Care Pack Service or HP contractual support agreement. HP Insight Remote Support supplements
your monitoring, 24x7 to ensure maximum system availability by providing intelligent event
diagnosis, and automatic, secure submission of hardware event notifications to HP, which will
initiate a fast and accurate resolution, based on your product’s service level. Notifications may be
sent to your authorized HP Channel Partner for on-site service, if configured and available in your
country. The software is available in two variants:
• HP Insight Remote Support Standard: This software supports server and storage devices and
is optimized for environments with 1-50 servers. Ideal for customers who can benefit from
proactive notification, but do not need proactive service delivery and integration with a
management platform.
• HP Insight Remote Support Advanced: This software provides comprehensive remote monitoring
and proactive service support for nearly all HP servers, storage, network, and SAN
