4.Disable TFTP on the Ignite-UX server (optional).

Unless you need to initiate installations via network boot, you may now disable TFTP on the Ignite-UX server. You may remove or comment out the "tftp" entry from /etc/inetd.conf.

If the system to be installed is running any version of HP-UX, booting from the network can be avoided by using the bootsys command or by booting from media and switching to the Ignite-UX server.

In the boot-from-media case, it will be necessary to either specify the _hp_loadfile_use_nfs keyword on the boot loader command line or create custom media with that keyword built into it.

For PA-RISC systems, interrupt the autoboot sequence at the prompt

Interact with IPL (Y, N, or Cancel)?> y

and enter the following (substitute 11.31 for 11.23 depending on the release).

ISL> hpux -i_hp_loadfile_use_nfs=\"true\" Rel_B.11.23/WINSTALL

For Integrity systems, interrupt the autoboot sequence at the prompt

Press Any Key to interrupt Autoboot

and enter the following (substitute 11.31 for 11.23 depending on the release).

HPUX> boot Rel_B.11.23/IINSTALL -i_hp_loadfile_use_nfs=\"true\"

If you do need to preserve the ability to perform network boot, but otherwise wish to take advantage of the NFS loadfile functionality, you may remove the /var/opt/ignite directory from the "tftp" entry in /etc/inetd.conf, leaving only /opt/ignite.

When Ignite-UX is installed, it automatically enables the TFTP daemon. If you reinstall Ignite-UX, you will need to reapply these changes.

For information on booting from media and then switching to an Ignite-UX server over the network, see “Alternate boot with network server installation” (page 27). For information about changing configuration content in the install file system, see instl_adm(1M) and instl_adm(4).

5.Verify that the configuration works.

Perform an installation, and watch the console output or the install.log file for the “Ignite-UX will use NFS for loadfile.” message:

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.
