boot image

Boot content, including [WVI]INSTALL, [WVI]INSTALLFS, INSTCMDS or INSTCMDSIA,

 

and other content needed to support boot, formatted for a specific media type such as CD,

 

DVD, or tape.

bootsys

An Ignite-UXcommand that allows you to reboot and install clients that are currently running

 

HP-UX. See bootsys(1M).

bundle

A package of software available from Software Distributor. Bundles are distributed within depots

 

and contain products and filesets. Ignite-UXtypically references software at the bundle level, as

 

opposed to product or product.fileset.

C

CD boot image A boot image formatted for a CD.

cfg clause

See configuration clause.

check_net_recovery An Ignite-UXcommand that compares the files on a currently running system with a network recovery archive created by make_net_recovery. A report is generated showing those files that have been added, deleted, or changed since the recovery archive was created. See check_net_recovery(1M).

check_tape_recovery

 

An Ignite-UXcommand that compares the files on a currently running system with a tape

 

recovery archive created by make_tape_recovery. A report is generated showing those files

 

that have been added, deleted, or changed since the recovery archive was created. See

 

check_tape_recovery(1M).

CINDEX

An INDEX file for individual clients, kept in the /var/opt/ignite/client directory on the

 

Ignite-UX server. Used to install recovery images made with make_net_recovery.

client

A computer that uses an Ignite-UX server for installation, recovery services, or both.

cloning systems

To replicate one computer’s software and configuration onto another. This can be accomplished

 

to varying degrees using make_sys_image and make_[tapenet]_recovery.

cold install

Booting, loading HP-UX onto, and then starting a system. This process loads a new copy of

 

HP-UX onto a system.

command line

Text formatted commands and options entered at an HP-UX command line prompt or executed

interface (CLI)

by a script.

common

System software you want replicated onto other systems, such as: an operating system, patches,

configuration

and application software.

compressed file

A file made smaller with compression software such as gzip or compress without losing any

 

information. See gzip(1) and compress(1).

CONFIG

A file in the LIF volume that typically contains all the software configuration information and

 

the default file system layout information. It includes default configuration information for the

 

operating system release, user-defined configuration information, and information regarding

 

archives and depots.

config file

See configuration file.

configuration

Defines a collection of related configuration files used to install or recover a system. You will find

clause

configuration clauses in the /var/opt/ignite/INDEX file for installations, and in the

 

/var/opt/ignite/clients/MAC_address/CINDEX file for recoveries, on an Ignite-UX

 

server.

configuration file

A file that contains information describing installation behavior, archive contents, or the contents

 

of a depot. Configuration files are referenced by the INDEX and CINDEX files. See instl_adm(4).

copy_boot_tape

An Ignite-UXcommand that replicates a PA-RISC recovery tape made with make_tape_recovery.

 

See copy_boot_tape(1M).

crippled config

See custom limited config.

custom

An installation tailored to your specific requirements, including: kernel parameters, the running

installation

of user-supplied scripts, host information, and networking information.

custom limited

A configuration file that informs Ignite there is no corresponding archive. Used with boot helper

config

media. Also called a crippled config.

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.
