U

 

Unique LUN ID

A general term for a LUN identifier, which might specifically be a physical disk's WWID, a

 

WWID assigned to a SAN virtual LUN, the uniq_name assigned to a LUN for which a WWID

 

could not be obtained, or some other type of identifier unique to a LUN.

V

 

Veritas

A set of products from Symantec that include VxVM and VxFS.

VINSTALL

The installation kernel for V-class PA-RISC systems.

VINSTALLFS

The associated file system for the VINSTALL kernel.

vmunix

The default kernel filename, used during normal system operation. vmunix is built by the

 

mk_kernelcommand, which Ignite calls during system installation. The AUTO file typically

 

contains the entry “boot vmunix”, which references /stand/vmunix on the selected boot

 

device.

volume

1. A pool of data storage made up of one or more physical disks. These volumes are created

 

and managed using tools from one of the volume managers, VxVM or LVM. See volume manager.

 

2. A tape, especially when ANSI labeled.

volume group

An arbitrary grouping of disks for use by LVM. See volume manager.

volume manager

A subsystem for managing disk space that allows one or more disks to be combined. It can

 

provide increased size, improved reliability via data and path redundancy, greater configuration

 

flexibility, and other features for managing file system space.

VxFS

A Veritas product from Symantec that is a file system implementation.

VxVM

A specific volume manager type that is a Veritas product from Symantec. See volume manager.

W - Z

 

[WVI]INSTALL

Refers to the WINSTALL, VINSTALL, IINSTALL, or INSTALL installation kernel depending on

 

your system.

[WVI]INSTALLFS

Refers to the WINSTALLFS, VINSTALLFS, IINSTALLFS, or INSTALLFS file system depending

 

on your system.

whole disk

A volume management selection that treats the entire disk as one volume. This selection does

 

not use a volume manager product. For bootable disks, it is a practical selection only for

 

Itanium-based systems.

WINSTALL

The installation kernel for 64-bit PA-RISC systems.

WINSTALLFS

The associated file system for the WINSTALL kernel.

XNTP

Stands in part for network time protocol. The xntpd daemon maintains system time in agreement

 

with Internet standard time servers. This can be configured from the itool System tab under

 

Network Services->XNTP.

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.
