Hi Arman,

Have a look at this thread

Hello Arman

Off hand I think of the following:

1. VxVM is only supported on HP-UX 11i.

2. 11i has the necessary infrastructure to support dynamically loadable kernel modules (DKLM). DKLM modules can be added to removed without rebooting.

3. 11i added the ability to dynamically tune some kernel parameters too.

BIND 9.2.0 is apparently not supported on 11.00
IPv6 is not supported on 11.00

Strong random number generation is not supportedor installable on 11.00

I am a little fuzzy on item 1, but solid on the last two.

All of the above items are supported on 11i

Further, 11i, though bigger and a little harder on the hardware is more reliable, a good improvement for hardware that can handle it.

There is a long list of special features available only in 11i, but the best reason to move to 11i is that 11.0 was released in Nov 1997...that's just a bit elderly for opsystem software. Obsolescence and end of support are coming soon for 11.0.

Good Point Bill.

Will there be another PA-RISC release of HP-UX
? Usually that happens before obsolecense.

I would not put HP-UX out to pasture yet. There's a *LOT*of PA-RISC hardware out there and lots of activity planned (last I heard) for more 11.xx versions.
