graphical user

A method of interacting with computers that employs metaphors such as windows and desktops

interface (GUI)and uses mouse-driven menus.
gzip

A command available with HP-UX that compresses and decompresses files in “.gz” format.

 

See gzip(1).

H

 

HBA

Stands for Host Bus Adaptor. A physical I/O interface that provides I/O processing and

 

connectivity between a server and a storage device.
hierarchical fileA particular implementation of a file system. See mkfs_hfs(1M).
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

 

IgniteSee Ignite-UX.
igniteThe 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 serverA server from which Ignite-UXis used to install HP-UX on client systems.
IINSTALLThe installation kernel for Itanium-based systems.
IINSTALLFSThe 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).
INSTALLThe installation kernel for 32-bit enabled PA-RISC systems.
installPerform an installation.
install content

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

install file systemSee IINSTALLFS, INSTALLFS, VINSTALLFS, and WINSTALLFS.
install kernelSee 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.

INSTALLFSThe 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).
