Shalom,

Unlike Linux, redundant network connection does not ship with the OS.

You need to purchase Auto Port Aggregation, APA and then configure it. Maybe you have it as part of your OS, if you purchased mission critical.

No, you can also get network redundancy with ServiceGuard. But if it's only the network part you want to be redundant, go with APA as it is much cheaper. (But check if your HP-UX Operating Environment includes Serviceguard.)
