TIP: To quickly save changes to a file system on the File System tab when using an HP terminal, press F2 followed by the letter m. You save time and effort using this method since you do not have to navigate to the Modify button then press it.

vt100 terminals

Typically the vt100 family keyboards use the same row of keys immediately above the numeric key pad as function keys. These keys may be labeled [PF1] -[PF4], but in some cases may be labeled *, /, +, and -. On some HP workstation (and HP 700 series terminals) keyboards, these keys may be four unlabeled keys above the keypad. If this is the case, [PF1] is the left unlabeled most key and [PF4] the right most key.

If you are unsure where the [PF1] - [PF4] keys are located on your keyboard, HP recommends the following:

•Consult the hardware documentation for your terminal to determine the keys that correspond to the [PF1] - [PF4] keys.

•If you are using X11, you must determine how your X11 key bindings are set. To view your current X11 key bindings, run xmodmap with no options.

To set the keypad keys, *, /, +, and - to be [PF1] - [PF4], you would use the following commands:

xmodmap -e "keysym KP_Multiply = KP_F1" xmodmap -e "keysym KP_Divide = KP_F2" xmodmap -e "keysym KP_Add = KP_F3" xmodmap -e "keysym KP_Subtract = KP_F4"

NOTE: Modifying the key bindings in X Window in this manner affects all X clients. The changes are not retained between sessions so you must modify the key bindings each time you login to an X Window session.

•If you are using a PC terminal emulator, consult the emulator application documentation to determine how the [PF1] - [PF4] keys have been mapped to your PC keyboard; it is possible that no mappings exist. Typically, the [PF1] - [PF4] keys are mapped to the keys above the key pad on your PC keyboard.

These four keys function as follows:

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.
