What is the difference in Operating Environments

[Enrique Abad Tomapasca]

What is the difference: Foundation OE, Enterprise OE, Mission Critical OE, Minimal Technical OE y
Technical Computing OE

[Steven E. Protter]

Foundation OE is the base operating environment. It includes few paid add in products but is the least expensive to buy a software support contract.

Enterprise OE is a middle of the road environmment including mirror/ux, serviceguard, PRM, WLM, Online JFS and other nice add ins that are usually licensed per cpu. My feature list is not complete.

Mission Critical OE is the works. It is a server OS that includes almost every conceivable tool for high availability and low downtime. It costs more for a software support contact.

The Technical OE and Technical OE's are special purpose feature combinations I believe are aimed at the workstation market. They include a specialized feature set. I've never seen one of these.

All the OE's have the same essential core HP-UX
bundles and are differentiated from each other by the
other products that are packaged in them. If you
need to findout the exact contents, take a look at
slides in page 2 and page 3 of the following doc:

Hope this helps.

2. OE: Base Operating System + Apache Web server, CIFS file server + applications for web, application or file server

3. Enterprise OE: Base Operating System + Mirror Disk/UX, Online JFS GlancePlus, PRM performance tools and other applications that are required to run an enterprise level commercial server.

4. Mission Critical OE: Base Operating System + Enterprise OE + MC/Service Guard and other tools to run a true 24x7 commercial server.

5. Technical Computing OE: Base Operating System + 3D graphics, the MILB library + other software for mathematical & engineering applications.
