HP-UX 11i Release Names and Operating System Version Identifiers

With HP-UX 11i, HP delivers a highly available, secure, and manageable operating system that
meets the demands of end-to-end Internet-critical computing. HP-UX 11i supports enterprise,
mission-critical, and technical computing environments. HP-UX 11i is available on both HP 9000
systems and HP Integrity systems.

Each HP-UX 11i release has an associated release name and release identifier. The

uname

command with the

-r

option returns the release identifier.

Table 11

shows the releases available
