Version Information

[Glenn G]

Can someone explain the apparently different ways of communicating the HPUX version? All the documentation I have for my server says I'm running HPUX B.11.11. But when I look up Daylight Saving Time patches, they are recommended for 11.00, 11i.v1, 11i.v2 and 11i.v3. There don't seem to be any patches for B.11.11? Thanks.

Confusing, but B.11.11 is 11i.v1, 11i.v2 is 11.23 and I think 11i.v3 is 11.31.

Go with 11i.v1

Hi Glen,

11 = 11.00
11i v1 = 11.11
11i v2 = 11.23
11i v3 = 11.30

You need the 11i v1 patches.

Best regards,

Welcome to the difference between marketing ideas and technical ideas.

You will find that almost all technical references use 11.0, 11.11, 11.23, ... which are much more useful.

The "i" stuff began with 11.11 so
your 11i.v1 = 11.11, .v2 = 11.23

It gets more complicated when you throw Itanium based systems into the mix.

In any event, for your 11.11 patches, look for 11.11 or 11i.v1 for PA-RISC.

NOTE: These same geniuses also came up with
IT/Operations, VantagePoint/Operations, and Openview/Operations for the same product (and I'm not even sure that OV/O is valid since I woke up this morning). In a similar vein we have OmniBack, OmniBack II, and DataProtector --- for the same product.

Thanks all for the info. Thanks, JRF, for the official HP info.

A minor correction to Robert-Jan's Post:

11iv1 = 11.11
11iv2 = 11.23
11iv3 = 11.31

The 11ivx names are the official names, the names in 11.xx style are code names.

Developers loves to use code names.

e.g. you will find a lot "mountain" names related to servers, like Matterhorn, Keystone, Everest, Mt.Hamilton, Rainier, Superdome (aka Halfdome) ...
