Hardware Enablement Patch Bundle for HP-UX 11i v3
Provides patches required for new systems and for add-on hardware supported on HP-UX 11i v3,
including I/O adapters and devices.
Summary of Change
The Hardware Enablement Patch (HWEnable11i) bundle provides support for new HP Integrity
Blade Servers, along with HP-UX support for older HP servers using PA8900 processors or Intel
Itanium processors. Minimal HP-UX support requires other HWE components from this OE Update
release that include the diagnostic products, WBEM Providers, I/O driver bundles, along with the
Ignite-UX product. HP recommends a full update to the desired OE option from the latest 11i OE
Update release for full HP-UX support with the updated versions of the manageability and
configuration tools.
For September 2011, HWEnable11i includes new HP-UX 11i v3 patches for support of the latest
HP Integrity systems with new Core I/O and chipsets. New patches were also added to support
future hardware.
