Example configuration files

you can further customize the configuration using the GUI, or accept the configuration defaults to begin the installation immediately.

The order of the configuration files within a cfg clause is significant; attributes specified in a later configuration file can override the same attributes specified in an earlier configuration file. Two configuration files are used implicitly every time:

•Any information stored in the first 8 KB of

/opt/ignite/boot/Rel_release/[WVI]INSTALLFS is implicitly prepended to each configuration list and is the first configuration data processed.

•The client-specific configuration file /var/opt/ignite/clients/client/config, if it exists, is implicitly added as the last configuration file for each configuration.

A default cfg clause for each release is shipped as part of Ignite-UX. Additional cfg clauses are added when you:

•Save a named configuration from the GUI with the Save As button.

•Create a configuration by modifying the /var/opt/ignite/data/INDEX file directly.

•Use the manage_index command to automate /var/opt/ignite/data/INDEX file modifications.

NOTE: To facilitate client recovery configurations, a CINDEX configuration file, similar to

an installation INDEX file, is created. For more information, see Chapter 15: “Recovery” (page 191) or see manage_index(1M) and make_net_recovery(1M).

Additionally, you can specify how installation software is handled by Ignite-UX using the following three constructs:

•A sw_source clause specifies an SD depot or an access method to a server containing software depots.

•The sw_sel clause specifies the software contained in the SD depot or specifies the path to a depot on the server or media. Typically there is one sw_sel definition per software bundle or depot.

•The sw_category clause is simply a mechanism for grouping sw_sel definitions.

See the clauses in Defining an Installation Depot for example usage of the above constructs. For more information, see instl_adm(1M).

Be sure to pass all user-generated configuration files through the following command to check for syntax errors:

instl_adm -T -f cfg_file

This section shows a few example configuration files to give you an idea of their look and capabilities. For a complete description of Ignite-UX configuration files, see instl_adm(4).

Defining Disks

This example shows how a disk might be defined. Here, the disk is located at hardware address 2/0/1.6.0 and does not use Logical Volume Manager (LVM) or Veritas Volume Manager by Symantec (VxVM). The disk contains the root ( / ) file system and a swap area. The swap area takes up 512 MB and the root file system assumes the remainder:

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.
