Chapter 1 25
HP-UX 11i v3 Operating Environments
Operating Environments (OEs) are tested and integrated application
bundles designed to work with the operating system and provide the
functionality needed for your system’s purpose.
HP restructured the Operating Environments in HP-UX 11i v3 to allow
you to easily create smaller systems that:
• Install faster
• Require less disk space
• Update faster
• Require less software maintenance
• Have a smaller security vulnerability footprint
All products that were originally located in the separate OE bundles
(FOE, EOE, MCOE, and TCOE) have been unbundled as recommended
products in the HP-UX 11i v3 release. These products are automatically
selected for install, but you can choose to deselect them before installing
or updating to HP-UX 11i v3. The HP-UX 11i v3 OEs include the
following:
For more information about the contents of the Operating Environments,
see Appendix C, “HP-UX 11i v3 Software Bundles,” on page 155.
