NIS domain

The group of systems sharing NIS configuration information.

O

 

offline diagnostic

Diagnostic utilities stored in the boot area or service partition able to run without the operating

environment (ODE)

system.

optional

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

 

bundles before installation. Ignite-UX is 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-UX uses 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-UX command that repackages the Ignite-UX product into a depot on an Ignite-UX server

 

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

 

recovery. See pkg_rec_depot(1M).

print_manifest

An Ignite-UX command 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 and

dependent code

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

 

loader (ISL). 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 must be installed with HP-UX because

 

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

 

installation.

recover

Perform a system recovery.

recovery

See system recovery.

recovery archive

An archive that retains host specific customizations from the system.

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.
