instl_dbg

An Ignite-UX command that will parse and debug an Ignite-UX client’s configuration files. See

 

instl_dbg(1M).
ISLSee initial system loader.
ISO image

An ISO9660 formatted file that is to be written to a CD or DVD. Used for a bit-for-bit burn of

 

a CD or DVD.
itool

The name of an internal IUX program that presents the Ignite-UX client installation configuration

 

user interface. This interface has five tabs: Basic, Software, System, File System, and Advanced.

 

It is used to customize all or part of the operating system installation on the client before an

 

installation or recovery. This command is not invoked from the command line.
IUX

See Ignite-UX.

K

 

kernel

The HP-UX kernel is the executable code responsible for managing the computer’s resources,

 

such as: allocating memory, creating processes, and scheduling programs for execution. The

 

kernel resides in RAM (random access memory) whenever HP-UX is running.

L

 

LANICSee MAC address.
largefiles

An option available on certain file systems that allows file sizes greater than 2 gigabytes.

legacy DSF

A DSF with the hardware path information such as SCSI bus, target, and LUN embedded in

 

the file’s minor number and file name, such as /dev/dsk/c#t#d#. These are the only DSFs

 

available in releases prior to HP-UX 11i v3.
legacy hardware

The representation of a hardware path as it exists in releases prior to HP-UX 11i v3. It is

path

composed of a series of bus-nexus addresses separated by slashes (/) leading to the HBA. After

 

the HBA, additional address elements, such as domain, area, port, tartet, and LUN, are separated

 

by periods (.). The string /0/2/1/0.1.4.0.0.2.7 is an example of a legacy hardware path.

legacy view

The representation of legacy hardware paths and legacy DSFs as in releases prior to HP-UX 11i

 

v3.

LIFSee Logical Interchange Format.
LIF volume

Portions of content needed for boot and install combined into a LIF file. The LIF file is included

 

in boot content and in install content.
link level address

See MAC address.

(LLA)

 

logical

A simple file system implemented on HP computers able to run HP-UX to aid in media

interchangetransportability. See lif(4).
format

 

logical volumeA virtual subdivision of a volume group. See logical volume manager.

logical volume

A specific volume manager type created and managed by the HP LVM product. See lvm(7).

manager (LVM)

 

LUN

An identifier of a SCSI device. This refers to an end storage device such as a disk, tape, floppy,

 

or CD. This is the unit itself and does not represent the path to the unit.
LUN hardware

A hardware path for a SCSI LUN that virtualizes all paths to the LUN. The first path element

path

is 64000, followed by a virtual bus instance and a logical unit number. Multipathed LUNs have

 

a single LUN hardware path. The string 64000/0xfa00.0x22 is an example of a LUN hardware

 

path. LUN hardware paths are part of the agile view introduced in HP-UX 11i v3.
lunpath hardware

The representation of a hardware path for a mass storage device. It is identical in format to a

path

legacy hardware path up to the HBA. After the HBA, additional addressing is represented in

 

hexadecimal format. The string 0/2/1/0.0x50001fe1500170ac.0x4017000000000000 is an example

 

of a lunpath hardware path. Lunpath hardware paths are part of the agile view introduced in

 

HP-UX 11i v3.
