single LUN hardware path. The string 64000/0xfa00.0x22 is an example of a LUN hardware path. LUN hardware paths are part of the agile view introduced in HP-UX 11i v3.

lunpath hardware The representation of a hardware path for a mass storage device. It is identical in format to a

pathlegacy hardware path up to the HBA. After the HBA, additional addressing is represented in hexadecimal format. The string 0/2/1/0.0x50001fe1500170ac.0x4017000000000000 is an example of a lunpath hardware path. Lunpath hardware paths are part of the agile view introduced in HP-UX 11i v3.

M

MAC address Stands for Media Access Control. A network card’s unique hardware number. Used to uniquely identify a network interface connected to a local area network.

make_[tapenet]_recovery

 

Collectively refers to the make_tape_recovery and make_net_recovery Ignite-UX commands.

make_boot_tape

An Ignite-UX command that creates a bootable tape that contains just enough information for a

 

system to boot and connect to an Ignite-UX server. See make_boot_tape(1M).

make_bundles

An Ignite-UX command that creates a bundle container for products in a depot. See

 

make_bundles(1M).

make_config

An Ignite-UX command that constructs Ignite-UX configuration files for Software Distributor depots.

 

See make_config(1M).

make_depots

An Ignite-UX command that builds a Software Distributor depot for use by other Ignite-UX tools

 

by copying bundles from a Software Distributor source. See make_depots(1M).

make_ipf_tape

An Ignite-UX command that creates a bootable tape for an Itanium-based system. The tape will

 

contain boot and installation components, but not a recovery archive. See make_ipf_tape(1M).

make_medialif

An Ignite-UX command that creates a file containing a LIF volume that is used to boot PA-RISC

 

systems. This file may then be copied to tape, CD, or DVD to create installation media. See

 

make_medialif(1M).

make_net_recovery

An Ignite-UX command that creates a recovery archive and system config file, and stores the

 

resultant recovery image on a system on the network. See make_net_recovery(1M).

make_sys_image

An Ignite-UX command that creates an archive of a system. See make_sys_image(1M).

make_tape_recovery

An Ignite-UX command that creates a recovery archive and system config file, and stores the

 

resultant recovery image on a local tape. See make_tape_recovery(1M).

manage_index

An Ignite-UX command that is used to manipulate an Ignite-UX INDEX or CINDEX file. See

 

manage_index(1M).

manifest

Details of a client's installation. It is available in a file on the client and the Ignite-UX server after

 

successful installation, and it may be displayed or regenerated with the print_manifest

 

command. See print_manifest(1M).

media image

The combined software source, config files, and boot information to be written to CD or DVD,

 

used when preparing installation media. It is a single large file in the HP-UX operating system

 

that is written to the medium and used for installation or recovery.

multipathing

The detection, correlation, and coordinated usage of multiple hardware paths leading to the

 

same LUN.

N

 

network boot

When a system boots the HP-UX install kernel over the network from an Ignite-UX server.

newconfig

The state of a file as it is stored in /usr/newconfig before it is moved into place and modified

 

to be system specific. Files in a newconfig state contain no information about the personality of

 

the system.

NFS

Stands for Network File System. Allows a client to perform transparent file access over the network.

NIC address

See MAC address.

NIS

Stands for Network Information Service. It allows access from any system to any system with a

 

single user identification and password.

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.
