Each language has a corresponding locale (language variant), which describes the system management of a language for doing the following:

•Messaging

•Representing numbers

•Displaying monetary values

•Telling time

•Generating characters

•Sorting text

Click Default Language... to see the Default Language Choices (Figure 58). They are listed in two columns: Language and Locale. Each language may have more than one way of representing itself on the system. If this is the case, there will be multiple locale entries for the same language.

Figure 58 Languages dialog box

The locale determines how languages are activated, and are reflected adjacent to Code Set:, as follows:

•ASK_AT_FIRST_BOOT enables you to leave the language setting open (unset) until the client system is first booted. At that time, you are prompted. The language setting will be performed as part of the initial system configuration.

•SET_NULL_LOCALE creates a NULL language environment leaving the locale variables, such as LANG and LC_ALL, unset by default. With no locale set, programs execute without using localized message catalogs, which can increase system performance. All HP-UX programs operate in the C locale and messages appear in English.

For information regarding other methods of setting the language environment, see geocustoms(1M) and HP CDE Getting Started Guide.

Keyboards... button

Click this button to select the type of keyboard to be used on the client. Otherwise, the default selection is used.

The selected keyboard language name is stored in the /etc/kbdlang file. If you have incorrectly set the language, you can quickly recover by removing this file.

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.
