system (HFS)

 

HPUX

The HP-UX bootstrap loader. Loads the kernel and starts HP-UX. For Ignite-UX, the HP-UX

 

bootstrap loader loads the install kernel (e.g. IINSTALL) and install file system (e.g. IINSTALLFS).

 

The bootstrap loader may also load other LIF content it needs to operate. See hpux(1M).

I - J

 

Ignite

See Ignite-UX.

ignite

The ignite command name. See ignite(5).

Ignite-UX

An HP-UX administration toolset that allows simultaneous installation of HP-UX on multiple

 

PA-RISC and Itanium-based clients, the creation and use of custom installations, the remote

 

recovery of clients, and the creation of recovery media.

Ignite-UX server

A server from which Ignite-UXis used to install HP-UX on client systems.

IINSTALL

The installation kernel for Itanium-based systems.

IINSTALLFS

The associated file system for the IINSTALL kernel.

image

The current state of your computer, or portion of your computer. Often thought of as a

 

“snapshot” of the state of the machine at any given moment.

INDEX

A file on the Ignite-UX server and in LIF volumes that groups references to configuration files in

 

configuration clauses in order to define installation behavior.

initial system

Implements the operating system independent portion of the bootstrap process on PA-RISC

loader (ISL)

systems. It is loaded and executed after self-test and initialization have completed successfully.

 

See isl(1M).

INSTALL

The installation kernel for 32-bit enabled PA-RISC systems.

install

Perform an installation.

install content

Boot content and other files needed to support Ignite-UXfunctionality during install and recovery.

install file system

See IINSTALLFS, INSTALLFS, VINSTALLFS, and WINSTALLFS.

install kernel

See IINSTALL, INSTALL, VINSTALL, and WINSTALL.

installation

Loading the operating system, other software, and configuration information onto a system.

installation media

Removable media such as tape, CD, and DVD for stand alone installation of a client system.

INSTALLFS

The associated file system for the INSTALL kernel.

INSTCMDS

A compressed tar archive of commands in the LIF volume, or on an Ignite-UX server, required

 

for specifying the system configuration to install on a PA-RISC system.

INSTCMDSIA

A compressed tar archive of commands in the LIF volume, or on an Ignite-UX server, required

 

for disk layout on an Itanium-based system.

instl_adm

An Ignite-UXcommand that checks syntax on Ignite-UX configuration files and manages the

 

configuration file in an installation file system on an Ignite-UX server. See instl_adm(1M).

instl_bootd

A boot protocol daemon for Ignite-UX clients that responds to PA-RISC systems requesting boot

 

services from the Ignite-UX server. See instl_bootd(1M).

instl_combine

An Ignite-UX command that combines a CD boot image or DVD boot image with install content.

 

See instl_combine(1M).

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.
