2.Modify the following values as needed:

•LVM Version: — 1.0 or 2.2. The default value can be set via the Basic tab “Additional...

button” (page 124) Default root group LVM version... button.

•Group Name: — Use to rename existing volume groups.

•Tot Size: — Total size of all volumes in MBs.

•Phys Ext Size: — Physical extent size in MBs.

•Max Phys Exts: — Maximum physical extents.

•Max Vols: — Maximum number of logical volumes.

•Max Phys Vols: — Maximum number of volumes.

For more information, see vgcreate(1M) for LVM or vxassist(1M) for VxVM.

3.Click Modify to implement all changes.

4.When you have finished modifying all values, click OK to return to the File System tab.

You can use the Advanced tab, as shown in Figure 86, to activate any HP or custom scripts that you might want to run on the client after the installation has completed. For example, you can include a script to install additional software from other depots, or one that contains specific system configuration changes for the intended use of the client.

Two different lists appear on this tab, Scripts to be Executed: and Available Scripts:.

The scripts that populate the Available Scripts list are derived from the /var/opt/ignite/data/ INDEX file clauses identified by the scripts keyword. When you add new scripts to the /var/ opt/ignite/data/INDEX file using manage_index, they are automatically added to this list and are available for use the next time you invoke the Ignite-UX GUI. For example, if you want to add a script called run_fsck located in /var/opt/ignite/scripts, you would use the following command:

manage_index -a -s "/var/opt/ignite/scripts/run_fsck"

For more information, see manage_index(1M).

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.
