Collectively refers to the make_tape_recovery and make_net_recovery Ignite-UXcommands.
An Ignite-UXcommand that creates a bootable tape that contains just enough information for a system to boot and connect to an Ignite-UX server. See make_boot_tape(1M).
An Ignite-UXcommand that creates a bundle container for products in a depot. See make_bundles(1M).
An Ignite-UXcommand that constructs Ignite-UX configuration files for Software Distributor depots. See make_config(1M).
An Ignite-UXcommand that builds a Software Distributor depot for use by other Ignite-UXtools by copying bundles from a Software Distributor source. See make_depots(1M).
An Ignite-UXcommand that creates a bootable tape for an Itanium-based system. The tape will contain boot and installation components, but not a recovery archive. See make_ipf_tape(1M).
An Ignite-UXcommand that creates a file containing a LIF volume that is used to boot PA-RISC systems. This file may then be copied to tape, CD, or DVD to create installation media. See make_medialif(1M).
An Ignite-UXcommand that creates a recovery archive and system config file, and stores the resultant recovery image on a system on the network. See make_net_recovery(1M).
An Ignite-UXcommand that creates an archive of a system. See make_sys_image(1M).
An Ignite-UXcommand that creates a recovery archive and system config file, and stores the resultant recovery image on a local tape. See make_tape_recovery(1M).
An Ignite-UXcommand that is used to manipulate an Ignite-UX INDEX or CINDEX file. See manage_index(1M).
Details of a client’s installation. It is available in a file on the client and the Ignite-UX server after successful installation, and it may be displayed or regenerated with the print_manifest command. See print_manifest(1M).
The combined software source, config files, and boot information to be written to CD or DVD, used when preparing installation media. It is a single large file in the HP-UX operating system that is written to the medium and used for installation or recovery.
The detection, correlation, and coordinated usage of multiple hardware paths leading to the same LUN.
When a system boots the HP-UX install kernel over the network from an Ignite-UX server.
The state of a file as it is stored in /usr/newconfig before it is moved into place and modified to be system specific. Files in a newconfig state contain no information about the personality of the system.
Stands for Network File System. Allows a client to perform transparent file access over the network.
See MAC address.
Stands for Network Information Service. It allows access from any system to any system with a single user identification and password.
The group of systems sharing NIS configuration information.
Diagnostic utilities stored in the boot area or service partition able to run without the operating system.

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.
