HP-UX 11i v3 Installation and Update Guide, September 2007 (Update 1 Release)

HP-UX 11i v3 Operating Environments
Operating Environments (OEs) are tested and integrated application bundles designed
to work with the operating system and provide the functionality needed for your
system's purpose.
HP restructured the Operating Environments in HP-UX 11i v3 to allow you to easily
create smaller systems that:
• Install faster
• Require less disk space
• Update faster
• Require less software maintenance
• Have a smaller security vulnerability footprint
All products that were originally located in the separate OE bundles (FOE, EOE, MCOE,
and TCOE) have been unbundled as recommended products in the HP-UX 11i v3
release. These products are automatically selected for install, but you can choose to
deselect them before installing or updating to HP-UX 11i v3. The HP-UX 11i v3 OEs
include the following:
