F

 

file system

A collection of files and supporting data structures residing directly on a mass storage device or

 

on a virtual or logical disk. There are various file system implementations, such as HFS and VxFS.

 

See also install file system.

fileset

For SD-UX, a collection of files within a product. The product may be part of a bundle. See sd(5).

G

 

gateway

The IP address of a system that routes forwarded traffic to a non-local network. A gateway IP

 

address is usually associated with a router.

golden archive

An archive with files set to the newconfig state.

golden image

A combination of a golden archive, and a configuration file describing a system’s disk layout

 

and file system. Use as a common configuration to install systems.

gzip

A command available with HP-UX that compresses and decompresses files in “.gz” format. See

 

gzip(1).

H

 

HBA

Stands for Host Bus Adaptor. A physical I/O interface that provides I/O processing and

 

connectivity between a server and a storage device.

hierarchical file

A particular implementation of a file system. See mkfs_hfs(1M).

system (HFS)

 

HPUX

The HP-UX bootstrap loader. Loads the kernel and starts HP-UX. For Ignite-UX, the HP-UX bootstrap

 

loader loads the install kernel (for example IINSTALL) and install file system (for example

 

IINSTALLFS). The bootstrap loader may also load other LIF content it needs to operate. See

 

hpux(1M).

I - J

 

ignite

The ignite command name. See ignite(5).

Ignite-UX server

A server from which Ignite-UX is used to install HP-UX on client systems.

IINSTALL

The install kernel for Itanium-based systems.

IINSTALLFS

The associated file system for the IINSTALL kernel.

image

The current state of your computer, or portion of your computer. Often thought of as a “snapshot”

 

of the state of the machine at any given moment.

INDEX

A file on the Ignite-UX server and in LIF volumes that groups references to configuration files in

 

clauses in order to define installation behavior.

initial system

Implements the operating system independent portion of the bootstrap process on PA-RISC systems.

loader (ISL)

It is loaded and executed after self-test and initialization have completed successfully. See isl(1M).

INSTALL

The install kernel for 32-bit enabled PA-RISC systems.

install

Perform an installation.

install content

Boot content and other files needed to support Ignite-UX functionality during install and recovery.

install environment

The Ignite install kernel, the install file system, and INSTCMDS or INSTCMDSIA, SYSCMDS or

 

SYSCMDSIA, and RECCMDS or RECCMDSIA as needed.

install file system

See IINSTALLFS, INSTALLFS, VINSTALLFS, and WINSTALLFS.

install kernel

See IINSTALL, INSTALL, VINSTALL, and WINSTALL.

installation

Loading the operating system, other software, and configuration information onto a system.

installation media

Removable media such as tape, CD, and DVD for stand alone installation of a client system.

INSTALLFS

The associated file system for the INSTALL kernel.

INSTCMDS

A compressed tar archive of commands in the LIF volume, or on an Ignite-UX server, required

 

for specifying the system configuration to install on a PA-RISC system.

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.
