}

Figure 96 shows the Software tab when the NFS server configuration file is used. As shown, the selected category is Machine Uses as defined in the configuration file using the sw_category clause as in the previous example. This selection causes the kernel modifications and the ch_rc commands to be applied during the installation in addition to the other software categories you select.

Using the installation tabs to configure client installations is explained in Chapter 10: “Booting and installing HP-UX on clients using the server”.

When you install HP-UX patches from SD depots, the files that are patched are normally saved, in case you want to remove the patch at a later date. However, doing this takes up additional space in the /var directory, so you might want to turn this feature off.

In general, you can control this feature by using the following option of the swinstall command:

-xpatch_save_files=[falsetrue]

You can specify swinstall options in a configuration file using the sd_command_line keyword either at the global level or within individual sw_source clauses, depending on whether you want it specified for all installations or just for certain ones.

This option is specified in the /opt/ignite/data/Rel_release/hw_patches_cfg file. It is controlled by the configuration file variable hp_patch_save_files and can be modified

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.
