HP-UX 11i v2 overview

Introduced in August 2004, HP-UX 11i v2 runs on HP 9000 and Integrity servers. HP shipped its last update to HP-UX 11i v2 operating environments in December, 2007. HP engineers all new operating system functionality for HP-UX 11i v3 and future releases (PDF).

HP recommends that customers running v2 upgrade to the latest release of HP-UX 11i for the performance, availability, scalability and virtualization advantages gained from that upgrade.

Further, customers transitioning from HP 9000 to Integrity servers see cost savings through consolidation, in addition to the software advantages.

If you have an HP support contract, you are entitled to upgrade for no charge. That includes the right to use the larger, updated set of software delivered in the new HP-UX 11i v3 OEs. The new OEs deliver up to 81% more software value, and can reduce your support costs in two ways.
