Installation of non-default VxFS and VxVM software version on HP-UX 11i v3 March 2012 Operating Environment Update Release (January 2013)

1. Introduction
The March 2012 HP-UX 11i v3 Operating Environment Update Release (OEUR) and later
by default installs the VxFS version 5.0.1. This means that the users will no longer be
able to de-select VxFS version 5.0.1 from the Ignite-UX Software tab. The March 2012
and later HP-UX 11i v3 OEURs include the following bundles:
VxFS 4.1 (Base-VXFS bundle) — required and installed in all OEs
OnlineJFS 4.1 (B3929EA bundle) — optional in all OEs
VxFS 5.0.1 (Base-VxFS-501 bundle) — required and installed in all OEs
OnlineJFS 5.0.1 (B3929GB bundle) — recommended and installed in DCOE,
VSEOE and HAOE (default)
VxVM 5.0.1 (Base-VxVM-501 bundle) — optional in all OEs
As described above, among the above VxFS/VxVM products shipped with the OEUR,
some are required (thus always selected) to be installed with all OE bundles while some
are optional (selectable). The following table provides a more detailed comparison on
the differences between March 2012 OEUR and earlier ones.
