A

 

add_new_client

An Ignite-UX command that constructs a client directory on an Ignite-UX server without requiring

 

the client to be booted from the Ignite-UX server first. See add_new_client(1M).

agile addressing

The ability to address a LUN with the same DSF regardless of the physical location of the LUN

 

or the number of paths leading to it. Agile addressing is introduced in HP-UX 11i v3.

agile view

The representation of LUNs using lunpath hardware paths, LUN hardware paths, and persistent

 

DSFs, introduced in HP-UX 11i v3.

always-installed

For HP-UX 11i v1 and 11i v2, the software and driver bundles required for HP-UX. They must be

 

loaded as part of the operating system.

anonymous client

A client system that requests an IP address for booting when its MAC address is not associated

 

with a specific IP address on the server. An anonymous client has its IP address allocated from

 

a pool of IP addresses set aside for anonymous clients. Contrast with registered client.

ANSI tape label

See standard label tape.

archive

1. A file made with make_sys_image that contains files for installation or recovery for a system.

 

The file format may be tar, cpio, or pax, and can be compressed. (To use the pax format with

 

11i v2, you must have the PAX-Enh™ product installed. The pax format is not available for 11i

 

v1.) An archive does not include file system or disk layout information. Archives can be either

 

recovery archives or golden archives. Recovery archives retain host-specific customizations from

 

the system; golden archives have customizable files reset to the newconfig state. An archive may

 

include the core HP-UX operating system, and may include application software, patches, and

 

global customizations.

 

2. A file containing the contents of other files, created and maintained by programs such as pax,

 

tar and cpio.

archive_impact

An Ignite-UX command that calculates the disk space required for an archive on a per top level

 

directory basis by default. The results are written in Ignite-UX configuration file syntax to standard

 

output. See archive_impact(1M).

AUTO

A file that defines default boot behavior. For PA-RISC systems, the AUTO file is in the LIF volume.

 

For Itanium®-based systems, the AUTO file is located in the /opt/ignite/boot directory. See

 

hpux(1M) and hpux.efi(1M).

auto_adm

An Ignite-UX command that allows you to manipulate AUTO file contents. See auto_adm(1M).

automated

Any installation done automatically, without manual interaction. This can be done at the command

installation

line with a bootsys command, or it can be scheduled to run at a particular time using the cron

 

daemon.

B

 

Bastille

A security hardening/lockdown tool that can enhance the security of the HP-UX operating system.

 

It provides customized lockdown on a system-by-system basis.

boot

To load the kernel and start the operating system that is referenced by the kernel that was loaded.

 

See boot(1M).

boot console

The firmware interface on a PA-RISC system. The Itanium-based equivalent is the extensible

handler (BCH)

firmware interface (EFI).
