updating to a newer version of HP-UX.

 to remove patches from a software depot if they have been superseded by patches also
available in the same depot.

Standard Patch Bundles - Support Plus
The standard patch bundles are included in the Support Plus Pack. It replaces the Extension
Software (XSW) and Independent Product Release (IPR) products.
HP-UX Support Plus contains:
 Quality Pack (QPK) bundles which include all stable defect-fix patches for core HP-
UX, graphics, and key networking drivers.
 Hardware Enablement (HWE) bundles which provide patches required for new
systems and for add-on hardware supported on HP-UX 11.00 and HP-UX 11i OE. The
HWE bundles also provide patches that support the latest boot devices and I/O adapters
with the Ignite-UX tools.
 General Release (GR) bundles which provide 10.20 general release patches. These
bundles are a tested set of HP-UX core patches.
 Hardware/Critical (HWCR) bundle which delivers hardware enablement and critical
patches for your HP-UX 10.20 server. Hardware enablement patches are required to
update existing systems and new devices while the critical patches fix problems that
could cause data loss or corruption.
