11i v3, including I/O adapters and devices.
• Feature Enablement Patch Bundle (FEATURE11i)
Consists of required core patch files that meet dependencies for new or updated software
products. Included patches might also enable new products/features or provide product
enhancements. (Also provided on the Application Software DVDs.)

— Base Quality Pack Bundle (QPKBASE)
Includes all stable, defect-fix patches for the Core OS, graphics, and key networking
drivers.
— Applications Quality Pack Bundle (QPKAPPS)

IMPORTANT:
You must use the updated Ignite-UX and Update-UX tools from September 2007 OE Update
release (or later) to correctly install patches and HP-UX 11i v3 patch bundles. HP supports the
following cold-install or update cases with a network depot that includes HP-UX patches or
patch bundles.
To cold-install HP-UX 11i v3 using a network depot, use any release of HP-UX 11i v3 to create
the network depot, and then copy the desired patch bundles into that depot. Use Ignite-UX
version C.7.3 (or later) to cold-install HP-UX 11i v3. Get the latest Ignite-UX version from the
IUX website: http://www.hp.com/go/ignite-ux
To update to the latest release of HP-UX 11i v3, start with the desired HP-UX 11i v3 OE bundles
from the September 2007 release (or later) to create the depot, and then copy the desired patch
bundles into the depot.
Updates to a network depot with the HP-UX 11i v3 OE bundles from February 2007 and 11i v3
patch bundles from September 2007 release or later cannot be supported, due to known problems
with the initial release of 11.31 HP-UX software management tools (that get installed with OE
bundles from February 2007).
