Verifying the configuration files

You can inspect the contents of the configuration files that were installed and modified after a successful installation process. These files reflect the configuration based on the information you supplied.

To verify the configuration files

1Log in as superuser to any system in the cluster.

2Set up your environment PATH variable.

#export PATH=$PATH:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/opt/VRTS/bin

Low Latency Transport configuration files

The following files are required by the VCS communication services for Low

Latency Transport (LLT).

/etc/llthosts

The file llthosts(4) is a database, containing one entry per system, that links the LLT system ID (in the first column) with the LLT host name. This file is identical on each system in the cluster.

For example, the file /etc/llthosts contains entries that resemble:

0system01

1system02

/etc/llttab

The file llttab(4) contains information that is derived during installation and used by the utility lltconfig(1M). After installation, this file lists the network links that correspond to the specific system.

For example, the file /etc/llttab contains entries that resemble:

set-node system01 set-cluster 100

link lan1 lan:1 - ether - - link lan2 lan:2 - ether - -

The first line identifies the local system name. The second line identifies the cluster (that is, the cluster ID you entered during installation). The next two lines, beginning with the link command, identify the two network cards used by the LLT protocol.

See the llttab(4) manual page.

The manual page describes the ordering of the directives in the llttab file.

HP-UX specifications

Symantec HP-UX is a comprehensive security solution engineered to protect the HP-UX operating system, a variant of the UNIX OS developed by Hewlett-Packard (HP). As a robust enterprise environment, HP-UX is widely used in mission-critical applications, particularly in industries such as finance, telecommunications, and manufacturing. Symantec’s integration with HP-UX enhances security, providing essential features that cater to the needs of large organizations.

One of the main features of Symantec HP-UX is its advanced threat protection capabilities. It employs a multi-layered approach to security, utilizing signature-based detection, behavior-based analysis, and heuristics to identify and mitigate known and unknown threats. This real-time protection minimizes the risk of malware, ransomware, and other cyber threats that can compromise sensitive data and disrupt business operations.

In addition to threat protection, Symantec HP-UX includes robust data loss prevention (DLP) capabilities. DLP technology helps organizations ensure that their confidential data remains secure by preventing unauthorized access and exfiltration. This feature is particularly important for compliance with regulatory requirements such as GDPR and HIPAA, as it aids in safeguarding customer information.

Another significant characteristic of Symantec HP-UX is its scalability. Designed to handle the demands of enterprise environments, the solution can be easily integrated with existing IT infrastructure while adapting to growing workloads. This functionality is essential for organizations that require flexible security measures to accommodate expansion or changes in business processes.

Security management and reporting are also key components of Symantec HP-UX. The solution provides centralized management tools that allow administrators to monitor security status, deploy updates, and manage policy across multiple systems from a single interface. These tools enhance visibility into security incidents and enable organizations to respond promptly to potential threats.

Moreover, Symantec HP-UX offers automated updates and patch management. Regular updates are crucial for maintaining a secure environment, and the solution ensures that systems are protected against the latest vulnerabilities without requiring extensive manual intervention.

In summary, Symantec HP-UX is a powerful security solution designed for the HP-UX operating system. Its main features include advanced threat protection, data loss prevention, scalability, centralized management, and automated updates. These characteristics make it a vital tool for organizations aiming to protect their data and maintain a secure operational environment in the face of evolving cyber threats.
