Introduction HP recommends the installation of the HP-UX 11i v1 OE Update Release for December 2006 plus the June 2007 OnLine Diagnostics Depot for full HP-UX support with these new HP 9000 servers. Earlier OE releases will require the addition of key HP-UX components from the December 2006 OE release for minimal HP-UX support with new hardware. The key HP-UX components for new hardware support include the latest HWEnable11i patch bundle, diagnostics and I/O driver bundles, along with the Ignite-UX product. New servers may need the latest version of other HP-UX applications from the current OE release for hardware support from the updated manageability and configuration tools.

In particular, the System Fault Management (SFM) bundle includes advanced hardware fault technologies for these new systems. The HP-UX configuration management products are delivered on the HP-UX 11i v1 OE media for December 2006, and are also available from the HP Software Depot: http://www.hp.com/go/softwaredepot.
