Welcome to HP-UX

HP-UX 11i Version 1.5 is the release for all Itanium processor family (IPF) based HP-UX systems. The release ID for HP-UX 11i Version1.5 is B.11.20, and the term HP-UX 11i Version 1.5 (B.11.20) will be used throughout this install guide. The HP-UX 11i Version 1.5 (B.11.20) Operating Environment (OE) is an integrated and tested software solution containing the operating system and selected applications.

PA-RISC based systems should continue to run HP-UX 11i (release ID B.11.11) or earlier releases. HP-UX 11i Version1.5 (B.11.20) will not run on PA-RISC based systems.

This release is not intended for Mission Critical environments, and HA products such as ServiceGuard are not supported on this release. It includes the following major features and enhancements:

• Base VERITAS Volume Manager 3.1 for HP-UX (VxVM), is integrated in HP-UX and is now the default volume manager and root disk

• Support for running most PA-RISC applications on IPF without recompiling

• Enhancements to some commands, including date and strftime

Functionality provided in this release will be included in future releases of HP-UX.

Install Guide Overview

Depending on how your system is conﬁgured, your use for this guide will vary. For example,

• If you ordered one of the server conﬁgurations with HP-UX 11i Version 1.5 pre-installed, this guide can still provide you with valuable information about conﬁguring your system, as well as peripherals, software, optional OS components and more.

• If you ordered a server or workstation without the OS pre-installed, then you will need to follow the instructions in Chapter 2.
