Here are the HP-UX 11i v1 sw_source and sw_sel examples:

sw_source "core archive" {

description = "HP-UX Core Operating System Archives" load_order = 0

source_format = archive source_type="NET"

.

.

.

post_load_script = "/opt/ignite/data/scripts/os_arch_post_l" post_config_script = "/opt/ignite/data/scripts/os_arch_post_c"

#If nfs_source is used, be sure to export the source.

nfs_source = "10.2.72.150:/var/opt/ignite/My_Golden_Images"

.

.

.

}

init sw_sel "golden image" { description = "Archive HP-UX 11.11 CDE" sw_source = "core archive" sw_category = "HPUXEnvironments" archive_type = gzip tar

#For NFS, the path to the archive is relative to the mount

#point specified in the sw_source:

archive_path = "hostname.gz"

#ftp/remsh sources can use a full path:

#archive_path = "/pub/IUXarchives/B.11.11_CDE.gz" impacts = "/" 23Kb

impacts = "/.dt" 35Kb impacts = "/TT_DB" 18Kb impacts = "/etc" 1375Kb impacts = "/export" 1Kb impacts = "/opt" 74079Kb impacts = "/sbin" 13449Kb impacts = "/stand" 1Kb impacts = "/tmp" 1Kb impacts = "/usr" 225459Kb impacts = "/var" 5736Kb

}= TRUE

3.Add the new configuration file (core_archive_cfg) to the Ignite-UX INDEX file:

Edit the /var/opt/ignite/data/INDEX file to add a new configuration to Ignite-UX. For this example, add a new cfg clause as follows:

cfg "HP-UX B.11.11 archive" {

description "some description of this archive..." "/opt/ignite/data/Rel_B.11.11/config" "/var/opt/ignite/data/Rel_B.11.11/core_archive_cfg" "/var/opt/ignite/config.local"

The line for the golden image is the one containing core_archive_cfg. The config and config.local files contain default configurations.

The /var/opt/ignite/config.local file must be the last file in the cfg clause. The last configuration file has the highest priority and can override values in the configuration files listed before it.

The file /opt/ignite/data/Rel_B.11.11/config supplies the disk and file system layout defaults, plus other control information required by Ignite-UX. It must be first in every cfg clause.

Each cfg clause appears as an available configuration to Ignite-UX. Therefore, the string HP-UX B.11.11 archive will now appear as a valid configuration choice.

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.
