LVM with VxFS | Yes | Yes |
For guidelines in planning file system layouts and for disk-management strategies, see the HP-UX System Administrator’s Guide for HP-UX 11i v3, or Managing Systems and Workgroups: A Guide for HP-UX System Administrators. Additionally, see the section “File System tab ” (page 137) for detailed information on file system configuration.
•Whole Disk (Not LVM) with HFS or VxFS - These selections treat the entire disk as a single unit. This is the option for hierarchical file system (HFS), or if the disk is 2 or less on PA-RISC. You can use a 70 disk as a single unit on an Itanium-based system.
•Logical Volume Manager (LVM) with HFS (Hierarchical File System) - This selection formats single or multiple disk systems to combine the disk space into a single, large disk pool, then allocates volumes as needed. The root volume and the swap must be on the same physical volume and are configured in this manner by Ignite-UX. Use the File System tab (see “File System tab ” (page 137)) to configure the LVM volumes, or use the values that Ignite-UX computes for you. For more information, see lvm(7).
•Veritas Volume Manager (VxVM) with VxFS - This selection formats single or multiple disk systems to combine the disk space into a single, large disk pool under VxVM, then allocates volumes as needed. The root (/), boot (/stand), and primary swap volumes must be on the same physical disk and are configured in this manner by Ignite-UX. Use the File System tab (see “File System tab ” (page 137)) to configure the VxVM volumes. VxFS enables you to change file system sizes after installation. With the optional HP OnlineJFS product you can resize, defragment, or make a "snapshot" of a mounted file system.
•Logical Volume Manager (LVM) with VxFS (Veritas File System) - This selection formats single or multiple disk systems to combine the disk space into a single, large disk pool, then allocates volumes from this pool as needed. VxFS is the same as the Journaled File System (JFS). With the HP VxFS product, you can resize, defragment, or make a "snapshot" of a mounted file system.
Root Swap (MB)... button
The amount of root swap space depends on the applications being installed. You can choose to use the default that Ignite-UX computes based on available memory on the client, or you can click Root Swap (MB)... and select from the choices that appear in the list. You can also modify the adjacent field directly by typing in the amount you want. The swap is rounded down to a multiple of 4 MB or the LVM extent size.
For information regarding computing swap space, see the HP-UX System Administrator’s Guide for HP-UX 11i v3, or Managing Systems and Workgroups: A Guide for HP-UX System Administrators.
Languages... button
The languages available with your HP-UX system are listed when you click Languages.... The default language, which was set when the GUI was started for the first time, appears in the adjacent field. Select the language you want as the default for the client, if it is other than the current default language. You can select more than one language by double-clicking on each item. To select a range of items in the list, you click and hold the mouse button, drag the pointer down within the dialog box, then click mark/unmark.
