11.0 vs 11i

[Asad Malik]

HI
We are planning to upgrade the Operating System on K220 and K360 from 11.0 to 11i. Are there any benefits of doing it? What extra functionality 11i provides which 11.0 does not. On K220 we run Sybase and on K360 Oracle. Is there a document on the web that compares the two Operating systems? Are there any reported problems or someone have eperienced an unusual situation.
Thanks

11i or 11.11 is actually a major OS release, but the upgrade shouldn't be too difficult.

Hi Asad,

Here's another link which would give you lots of information about 11i

http://www.hp.com/products1/unix/operating/index.html

Here is a link to the information library which has lots of info as well.

http://www.hp.com/products1/unix/operating/hpux11i/infolibrary/index.html

Again as to whether you want to upgrade or do a cold install is another very debatable question, but i am sure lot of people would say go with a cold install. There are lots of threads on that issue as well, just do a search on it.

-Good luck
Ramesh
