Figure 114 Confirmation dialog box

Clicking Yes produces a terminal window allowing you to enter the root password, clicking No halts the addition of this client and returns you to the Ignite-UX GUI.

Once communication with the client is established and the client directory is constructed, a client icon appears in the Ignite-UX GUI.

6.Ensure that the client icon for which you want to create a recovery image is selected, and then select Create Network Recovery Archive from the Actions menu. You may be prompted for the root password for the client.

The network recovery tools needed on the client are automatically installed.

After some informative dialog boxes, an Include/Exclude Selection dialog box appears. To view the essential files, click Show. Essential files cannot be excluded, but you can customize the image by specifying additional volumes, directories, or files. When an item is identified as both Include and Exclude, the Exclude category takes precedence.

Examples of network recovery image creation

Create a recovery image from the client

This command creates a recovery image from the client, using settings from the last invocation of Ignite-UX, and using the options file on the Ignite-UX server (myserver) in the default location, /var/opt/ignite/clients/client/recovery/ :

make_net_recovery -s myserver

Create a recovery tape on a client that includes the volume group, vg00

To create a recovery image from the client that includes files from all file systems in the vg00 volume group, enter:

make_net_recovery -s myserver -x inc_entire=vg00

Preview system recovery

To preview the processing that would take place without actually creating the recovery image, enter:

make_net_recovery -s myserver -p

Recovering using the network for PA-RISC clients

To recover a failed disk or volume group using the recovery image:

1.Boot the failed system using one of these methods (see “Booting PA-RISC clients from the console ” (page 99)):

•Use Ignite-UX after reboot with boot lan install.

•Boot from an Ignite-UX server using bootsys if the client operating system is running.

•Boot the failed client locally by using a boot tape previously created with make_boot_tape.

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.
