6
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:

Migration Overview
The followings steps provide an overview of the migration to
HP-UX 11.0. For detailed information, see the HP-UX 11.0
Installation and Update Guide.
1. Prepare to migrate the system.
2. Migrate to HP-UX 11.0 using cold install or update.
3. Verify the migration.
4. Back up the new system.
5. Upgrade other applications, as needed.

Menu Options
The following menu options are available for the cold install of
HP-UX 11.0.
Cold Install: Basic Configuration Choices
You can select one of three choices for the basic configuration of
your system:
• Default configuration
• Technical Computing configuration
• Commercial Servers configuration
Each configuration selects automatically the HWE patch bundle
required for all current and new hardware, including the latest
HP servers and workstations supported on HP-UX 11.00.
Technical Computing and Commercial Servers configurations
also match the HP Instant Ignition options with the current
patch bundles and diagnostic products recommended for new HP
systems. The HP_UX 11.00 Default and Technical Computing
choices still include the required November 1999 ACE bundle.
14
In the March 2002 release, there are no changes to the core
software. For Default and Technical Computing configurations,
the November 1999 ACE bundle is installed automatically. For
more information on the integrated patch bundle in the
November 1999 ACE bundle release, see the Release Notes for
HP-UX 11.0 Additional Core Enhancements, November 1999
(HP-UX 11.0) on the web:
http://docs.hp.com/hpux/os/11.0
Note When you insert the Support Plus media, the install
tool selects automatically the HWE, QPK, and
Diagnostics bundles in the same install session to
eliminate extra system reboots.

are automatically marked for installation, you can now select
mass-storage and networking I/O driver products from the
Software tab on the Ignite-UX install menu.
Mass-storage I/O driver products include the PCI TL/TS/XL2
Fibre Channel card (A6795A).
Networking I/O driver products include GSC/HSC, HP-PB, and
PCI adapters for 100BT, Gigabit Ethernet, FDDI, and
Hyperfabric LAN.
For a list of supported mass storage and network drivers, see
"Meeting System Requirements" in Chapter 1 of the HP-UX 11.0
Installation and Update Guide.
17
Known Problems
• EISA 100BT Warning Message
When you remove an EISA 100BT product from a system or
update a system having EISA 100BT to any later releases of
HP-UX, you may find the following message in the
/var/adm/sw/swagent.log file:
Runnin g rem ov e setup comma nd
/usr/lbin/sw/remove_setup.
/dev/d ia g/e ther* not fo und.
This behavior occurs in the HP-UX 10.20, HP-UX 11.0, and
HP-UX 11i (B.11.11) versions of this product. Presence or
absence of this file on a system will not have any impact on
this product. You may safely ignore this message.
• Patch Needed Before Installing Fibre Channel
Adaptor
Before you migrate to HP-UX 11i, make sure that
PHKL_23626 (or later) is included in your installation.
Download HP-UX patches from the HP IT Resource Center.
See “Web Resources” on page 21.
18
• Screen May Lock During Update
When updating a system having a graphics console with
Common Desktop Environment (CDE) enabled from HP-UX
10.20 to HP-UX 11.0, the screen may go blank and the system will begin beeping. This problem is caused by the screen
being automatically locked by CDE after a preset idle time.
To avoid this problem, turn CDE’s screen lock off before
entering the swinstall command to update to HP-UX 11.0.
To turn the screen lock off, select CDE Style Manager ->
Screen. Then click Screen Lock: Off and OK.
If you do not turn the screen lock off, the update will continue with the system beeping until the update is complete.
You will see the Display Locked window.
• Cold Installing over a Network?
When you cold install HP-UX 11.0 on a disk via a FibreChannel network, you must select the appropriate Fibre
Channel card drivers during the cold-install process. For
example, you would do this if your system boots from a
remote disk drive rather than a local drive. The drivers are
now available on the HP-UX 11.0 Install/Update/Recovery
CD. Failing to select the needed drivers will prevent your
system from booting from the remote drive after cold installing HP-UX 11.0 on it.
19
For the drivers supplied on the HP-UX 11.0 CD, see "Meeting System Requirements" in Chapter 1 of the HP-UX 11.0
Installation and Update Guide.
Booting from a boot device connected via a Fibre Channel
fabric switch is not supported. Connect the boot device
directly to the system using one of the available Fibre Channel cards listed in “Selectable Drivers” on page 9.
• Installing 64-bit Minimal OS
You can now cold install the HP-UX 11.0 64-bit Minimal OS
(bundle name HPUXMinSys32/64)from the Install/Update/
Recovery CD without a problem. If you plan to install
HPUXMinSys32/64 via an Ignite-UX server, however, you
will need to first edit manually the config file produced by
make_config for the Core OS depot. In the config file,
search for this line:
sd_software_list="HPUXMinSys64,r=B.11.00,a=HP
UX_B.11.00_64,v=HP"
Change it to the following:
sd_software_list="HPUXMinSys64 ProgSupport.CINC"
