HP Optimizes UNIX System Software Packaging
Overview This white paper discusses the problems of the typical installation process, describes the new HP approach in detail and then analyzes its benefits and drawbacks. Installation or upgrading of software for operating systems, networks, and storage management has historically been unnecessarily complex and has imposed delays, cost, risk, and other burdens. With HP-UX 11i, HP has taken an innovative approach to reducing these burdens by limiting the myriad configurations to a set of four well-chosen Operating Environments (OEs) as an alternative to the typical "a la carte" menu. This simplifies not only the ordering process, but the installation process as well. Instead of several media disks, numerous codewords, multiple reboots, and several forced decisions during the system build, the HP-UX 11i release greatly streamlines the process with only two system CDs and only two reboots.
