optional

With 11i v3, software bundles that are not installed with HP-UX by default. You must select

 

these bundles before installation. Ignite-UXis an example of an optional software bundle.

P

 

partition

A portion of a disk device that appears to volume managers, file systems, and other OS software

 

as a disk device. Partitions allow different portions of a disk to hold content needed for boot,

 

OS file systems, diagnostic tools, and other information.

pax

An HP-UX file archiving command that extracts, lists, and writes member files to an archive.

 

Ignite-UXuses pax to produce tar, cpio, and pax formatted archives. See pax(1),tar(1), and

 

cpio(1).

PDC

See Processor Dependent Code.

persistent DSF

A DSF conforming to the naming model introduced in HP-UX 11i v3 to support agile addressing.

 

The device file name contains an instance number, such as /dev/disk/disk#, and the minor

 

number has no hardware path information.

physical location

Device identifier that uses information such as cabinet, bay, and LUN ID to indicate where the

 

device is actually located. Used to indicate a specific device independent of I/O path changes.

pkg_rec_depot

An Ignite-UXcommand that repackages the Ignite-UXproduct into a depot on an Ignite-UX

 

server in order to distribute Ignite-UXsoftware to client systems that use the Ignite-UX server for

 

network recovery. See pkg_rec_depot(1M).

print_manifest

An Ignite-UXcommand that displays a manifest of the system it is run on. It can either display

 

the original manifest, or gather information about the current system when it runs. See

 

print_manifest(1M).

processor

The firmware that implements all processor-dependent functionality including initialization

dependent code

and self-test of the processor. Upon completion, it loads and transfers control to the initial system

 

loader. Firmware behavior varies depending on the hardware series. See pdc(1M).

product

In SD-UX, a collection of filesets, individual filesets, or both.

PXE

Stands for preboot execution environment. A protocol built on top of DHCP on HP-UX

 

Itanium-based systems used to request boot services from a server in order to load the operating

 

system.

R

 

reboot

To stop all running code including the kernel, restart a computer, and boot the system. See

 

shutdown(1M) and reboot(1M).

RECCMDS

A compressed tar archive of commands required for expert recovery on PA-RISC systems.

RECCMDSIA

A compressed tar archive of commands required for expert recovery on Itanium-based systems.

recommended

With 11i v3, software bundles that are recommended and should be installed with HP-UX

 

because they fulfill required software dependencies, if any exist. You can deselect the bundles

 

before installation.

recovery

See system recovery.

recovery archive

An archive that retains host specific customizations from the system. See archive.

recovery image

A system-specific snapshot of a system that contains hostname, IP address, networking

 

information, all files and directories essential to bringing up a functional system, as well as

 

optionally including specified data on a disk, volume group, file, or directory basis. It is created

 

with make_[tapenet]_recovery.

recovery shell

See expert recovery.

registered client

A client system that has its MAC address registered with the server in order to always boot to the

 

same assigned IP address. For PA-RISC systems, the client’s MAC address is assigned to an IP

 

address in the /etc/opt/ignite/instl_boottab or /etc/bootptab file. For

 

Itanium-based systems, the default is to use the /etc/bootptab file.

required

With 11i v3, software and network driver bundles that are required and always installed with

 

HP-UX. Software in this category cannot be deselected.

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.
