General Features in HP-UX 11.0
HP-UX 11.0 includes the following key features. For more
information and other OS features, see the HP-UX 11.0 Release
Notes.
• The Unlimited-User License, rather than the 2-User
License, is automatically selected when installing from the
HP-UX 11.0 Install/Update/Recovery Media. The HP-UX
B.11.00 licensing, then, will be more consistent with the HPUX B.11.11 licensing. Also, the Unlimited-User License
cannot be deselected for install.
If necessary, to degrade a system to a 2-User License after
installation from the HP-UX 11.0 Install/Udpate/Recovery
Media has completed, use the 2-User Degrade bundle available for installation from the HP-UX B.11.00 Application
Release media. The Unlimited-User License bundle is also
available for install from this media.
• The new HP-UX 11.00 Hardware Enablement (HWE) bundle
replaces the HP-UX 11.00 Hardware/Critical (HWCR)
bundle on the Support Plus CD.
The new HWE bundle provides the minimal number of
patches for supporting new and legacy hardware using
7
HP-UX 11.00. Critical patches found previously in the
HWCR bundle are now available in the Quality Pack (QPK)
bundle.
• As of the September 2001 release, the General Release (GR)
bundle on the Support Plus CD has been consolidated with a
new Quality Pack (QPK) bundle, combining the best features
of both. GR bundle users should now use the QPK bundle,
located in the QPK1100 directory.
• For new user documentation, this new booklet replaces the
document delivered with the previous November 1999 ACE
bundle release and the December 2000 release. This new
book replaces all earlier HP-UX 11.0 Readme documents.
• New Fibre Channel, HyperFabric, and PCI RS-232 MUX
drivers have been added to support new mass-storage and
network cards.
• The following table lists some selectable drivers. For more
drivers, see the Selectable Drivers table in Chapter 1 of the
HP-UX 11.0 Installation and Update Guide.
• Newer mass storage cards may require system firmware
upgrades before connecting to boot devices. For the latest
supported firmware for your system, go to the web:
