Welcome to HP-UX 11i Version 2
Welcome to HP-UX 11i Version 2
HP-UX 11i Version 2 is the newest release of HP-UX 11i for the Intel Itanium architecture. This enterprise release offers a full range of HP-UX Operating Environments, including systems management and high-availability software products. Itanium-based systems offer significantly better price/performance and performance scalability than systems based on current architectures, and HP-UX 11i v2 provides the best way to preserve your investment through the transition from PA-RISC systems to Itanium-based systems.
Hewlett-Packard's enterprise computing business has carefully planned the transition to Itanium-based systems, placing a premium on customer and partner investment protection. HP-UX 11i v2 maintains compatibility with HP-UX 11iv1 on PA-RISC through the following:
•Common “look and feel”
•Application Build Environment compatibility (source code compatibility)
•Data compatibility
•Binary compatibility
HP-UX 11i v2 offers these industry firsts for Itanium-based systems:
•Support for HP-UX 11i, Linux, and Windows running in separate hardware-based partitions on the same computer
•64-way performance scaling
•iCOD (Instant Capacity on Demand) and Pay-Per-Use (PPU)
HP-UX 11i v2 brings to Itanium-based systems the full power of HP 11iv1, the #1-rated UNIX operating system (OS) in the world (DH Brown 2002 UNIX OS Review; see the web site: http://www.hp.com/hpinfo/newsroom/press/2002/020530b.html
HP-UX 11i v2 on Itanium takes its place alongside HP-UX 11i v1 on PA-RISC as an industry mainstay for mission critical enterprise applications.

Welcome to HP-UX 11i Version 2
Introduction
HP-UX 11i Version 2 is the latest release for most Itanium-based HP-UX systems. The Release ID for HP-UX 11i Version 2 is B.11.23, and we use the term HP-UX 11i v2 throughout this guide. The HP-UX 11i v2 Operating Environments (OEs) are integrated and tested software solutions containing the operating system and selected applications.
Precision Architecture Reduced Instruction Set Computing
(PA-RISC)-based systems should continue to run HP-UX 11iv1 (Release ID B.11.11) or earlier releases. HP-UX 11i v2 does not run on PA-RISC-based systems.
With HP-UX 11i, HP delivers a highly available, secure, and manageable operating system that meets the demands of end-to-end Internet-critical computing. HP-UX 11i supports enterprise, mission critical, and technical computing environments. HP-UX 11i is available on both PA-RISC systems and Itanium-based systems.
Each HP-UX 11i release has an associated release name and release identifier. The uname (1) command with the -r option returns the release identifier. The following table shows the releases available for HP-UX 11i.
