Install HP-UX from the Server Using the Client Console

You will use the Ignite-UX terminal user interface (TUI) to install HP-UX. It will be displayed on the client console after the client successfully reboots.

Move between menu buttons with the tab key and select by pressing enter. Help is available from the majority of these screens.

1.Select Install HP-UXfrom the welcome screen by pressing enter.

Common Errors

NOTE: The console firmware terminal type is currently set to “hp”. If you are using any other type of terminal you will see “garbage” on the screen following this message.

If this is the case, you will need to either change the terminal type set in the firmware via GSP (if your GSP firmware version supports this feature), or change your terminal emulation to match the firmware. In either case you will need to restart if your terminal and firmware terminal type do not match.

Press the 'b' key if you want to reboot now.

Diagnosis: Your console is not set to the correct terminal type.

Correction: One solution is to run the client console from an hpterm. Launch it with this command:

#hpterm -sb -sl 10000&

You must reboot the client by pressing b after the NOTE above, or if you missed this opportunity, reboot by cycling the power. Continue from “Boot the Client System from the Ignite-UX Server” (page 18)

See hpterm(1X) by issuing the command

2.If the Source Location Options menu is displayed, leave it at the default selection: Ignite-UX server based installation. For the User Interface Options, select Advanced Installation by navigating to that line with tab and pressing enter, or by pressing a, then select OK.

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.
