Ioscan command lists no devices | HP UX System Management Software

The ioscan command lists no devices.

Diagnosis: If the system is running HP-UX 11i v3, the system might have legacy mode disabled. To find out, issue the following command.

#insf -Lv

Correction: If legacy mode is disabled, issue the following command to get the DVD-ROM device name (add an “N” to the ioscan command options). Do not enable legacy mode without talking to the system administrator responsible for the Ignite-UX server.

#ioscan -fNnkC disk more

See ioscan(1M).

See mkdir(1).

See mount(2).

See mount(1M) by issuing the command

#man 1M mount

2.Make sure you are installing a later version of Ignite-UX on the system.

Procedure

a.Get the version of Ignite-UX currently installed on the server, if it is already installed:

#swlist Ignite-UX

b.Get the version of Ignite-UX from the OE DVD:

#swlist -s /dvdrom grep Ignite-UX

Common Errors

ERROR: Software “Ignite-UX” was not found on host “system_name:/”.

Diagnosis: Depending on the command you issued, Ignite-UX is not currently installed on the server or it's not on the DVD currently in the drive.

Correction: If Ignite-UX is not installed on the server, continue to the next step. If Ignite-UX is not on the DVD, replace the DVD with another in the media set. Remember to unmount the current DVD in order to extract it from the drive.

ERROR: The expected depot or root does not exist at “/dvdrom”.

ERROR: There is currently no depot software on host “hostname” at location “/dvdrom”. Make sure that an absolute pathname is specified for location (beginning with “/”).

Diagnosis: The DVD is no longer mounted at /dvdrom or you have typed the wrong directory name.

Correction: Check for typos. You can use bdf to check the name of the DVD mount point. If the DVD is not mounted, mount it as described in the previous step.

10 Setting up an Ignite-UX Server

UX System Management Software specifications

HP-UX System Management Software is a robust suite of tools designed to facilitate the administration and management of HP's Unix-based operating system, HP-UX. As organizations increasingly rely on mission-critical applications, the need for a reliable and efficient management solution becomes paramount. HP-UX provides a comprehensive understanding of system performance, resource utilization, and enterprise-wide configuration, all while maintaining high availability and security.

One of the key features of HP-UX System Management Software is its Advanced System Administrator Toolkit. This toolkit includes a wide array of utilities that streamline daily administrative tasks such as monitoring system performance, managing user accounts, and configuring system settings. Tools such as Glance provide real-time monitoring of system resources, enabling administrators to identify bottlenecks and optimize performance.

The software also boasts an advanced security framework, including features such as Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) and Secure Shell (SSH) for secure data transmission. Security patches and updates can be managed through HP’s Service Pack for HP-UX, which provides a streamlined method for maintaining system integrity and compliance with various regulatory standards.

Another notable aspect is the extensive support for virtualization technologies. HP-UX supports HP’s Integrity Virtual Machines (IVMs) and vPars, allowing administrators to create multiple isolated environments on a single physical server. This not only enhances resource utilization but also improves disaster recovery planning by enabling easier backup and restore processes.

For storage management, HP-UX offers tools that enable easy setup and management of Logical Volume Managers (LVM). This allows simplified disk space allocation and management, ensuring that critical applications have the necessary resources without manual intervention.

Furthermore, HP-UX is designed with compatibility in mind, supporting a wide range of third-party applications and frameworks. Integration with management platforms like HP System Insight Manager enhances the ability to monitor and manage systems from a centralized perspective, providing alerts and reports that help in proactive decision-making.

In summary, HP-UX System Management Software delivers a streamlined approach to system administration, focusing on performance, security, and ease of management. Its advanced features, combined with an emphasis on virtualization and storage management, make it a powerful tool for organizations seeking reliability and efficiency in their Unix-based environments. As businesses continue to evolve, tools like HP-UX will remain crucial for ensuring consistent performance and operational excellence.
