C HP-UX 11i v3 Software Bundles
This appendix describes the software bundles included in the HP-UX 11i
v3 media contents.
HP-UX 11i v3 has a new OE structure that provides more flexibility in
managing the products you wish to install and update on your system.
The new OE structure makes it easier and more reliable to incrementally
update your system with OE software components. HP-UX 11i v3
contains three types of OE software components:
• Required: Software and administration tools needed to create a
minimally bootable and maintainable system. Only drivers for basic
hardware are included in this category. You may need to install
additional drivers to use all hardware components. Software in this
category cannot be deselected.
• Recommended: Software bundles that HP recommends you install
because it fulfills software dependencies, if any exist. You can,
however, manually de-select the bundles before you install or update
your system.
• Optional: Software bundles that are not installed or updated by
default.You must manually select these bundles before you install or
update your system.
