HP-UX is comprised of many components and subsystems. This section covers how those components are packaged and delivered.

Operating Environments

Operating systems are complex software ecosystems that control the usage of resources of your computers (for example memory, peripherals, processors, and applications). HP-UX 11i, HP’s version of the UNIX operating system, is highly configurable and has many optional components and applications to enhance the basic functionality of the core operating system. Operating Environments are pre-configured combinations of these components, designed and pre-tested to work together.

HP-UX 11i version 3 provides the following operating environments:

  • HP-UX 11i v3 Base Operating Environment – (BOE)

  • HP-UX 11i v3 Virtual Server Operating Environment – (VS-OE)

  • HP-UX 11i v3 High Availability Operating Environment – (HA-OE)

  • HP-UX 11i v3 Data Center Operating Environment – (DC-OE)

For complete details about the Operating Environments available for HP-UX 11i version 3, including descriptions of what is included with each, see the version of HP-UX 11i Version 3 Release Notes that corresponds to the version of HP-UX 11i that you are using.

Extra Components and Products

Additional Software

In addition to the software components that are shipped as part of HP-UX Operating Environments, HP publishes software components and applications to further enhance the capabilities of HP-UX and your HP servers. Some of these components and applications are available at:

Others are available on the application support media. Contact your HP sales representative, or an HP authorized reseller for details.

Third-Party Products

As with most operating systems, HP-UX 11i is the core of an entire suite of products, not all of which come from HP.

Thousands of applications that run on HP-UX 11i (both on HP 9000 servers and on HP Integrity Servers) are available from software vendors.
