HP-UX 10.x System Administration

• Software Mangement
• Software on localhost

/var/adm/sw/products/ - subdirectories for each product installed
/var/adm/sw/patch/ - subdirectories for each patch installed
/usr/sbin/swinstall - install software/patches to localhost
/usr/sbin/swremove - remove software from localhost
/usr/sbin/swlist - list software depots installed locally or at a remote depot
• Software to distribute elsewhere

/usr/sbin/swcopy - copy software to local depot for distribution
/usr/sbin/swremove -d - remove software from a local depot
/usr/sbin/swacl - modify access control lists of local software depots
• Environment Setup
• PATH

/usr/bin 
/usr/ccs/bin /usr/contrib/bin
/usr/dt/bin     CDE only
/opt/[dir]/bin  for each [dir] that exists

• MANPATH

/usr/man
/usr/share/man
/usr/contrib/man
/usr/dt/bin             CDE only
/opt/[dir]/share/man    for each [dir] that exists.
        
/usr/sbin/catman -w creates file /usr/share/lib/whatis that man -k uses

• Environment config files

/etc/profile
/etc/csh.login
/etc/skel/*

• User account management

        
/usr/sbin/useradd
/usr/sbin/userdel
/usr/sbin/usermod
/usr/sbin/groupadd
/usr/sbin/groupdel
/usr/sbin/groupmod
/etc/passwd
/.secure/etc/audnames
/tcb/files/auth/[a-z,A-Z]/[username]

• Disk and File Systems
• Without LVM
• Hard partitions are provided only for models of disks that were supported prior to release 10.0. Hard partitions will not be provided on disks introduced with 10.0 or later.
• You will not be able to use a partitioned disk for your root disk. You will only be able to use a non-partitioned disk or LVM disk for this purpose.

        
Special files: /dev/dsk/c0t3d0  - block device  
                                - c=controller #
                                - t=SCSI target #
                                - d=almost always 0
               /dev/rdsk/c0t3d0 - character device
               /dev/rmt/0       - tape device
        To set up a new disk for use:
/usr/sbin/newfs -F FStype /dev/rdsk/c0t3d0
        By default, short or long filenames will be used based on
        whatever the root filesystem is.
/sbin/mount /dev/dsk/c0t3d0 /filesystem

Add it to /etc/fstab for automatic mounting during every boot.

• With LVM

/usr/sbin/pv*   
/usr/sbin/lv*
/usr/sbin/vg*
/dev/[vol_grp]/[log_vol]        - block device
/dev/[vol_grp]/r[log_vol]       - character device
i.e.    /dev/vg01/lvol3
        /dev/vg01/rlvol3
        /dev/scratchvg/scratch
        /dev/scratchvg/rscratch

To set up a new disk for use with LVM:

/usr/sbin/pvcreate /dev/rdsk/c0t4d0
/usr/sbin/vgextend /dev/vg01 /dev/dsk/c0t4d0
/usr/sbin/lvcreate -n test -L 600 /dev/vg01     # creates 600Mb volume
/usr/sbin/newfs -F hfs /dev/vg01/test
/usr/bin/mkdir /test
/sbin/mount /dev/vg01/test /test

Add it to /etc/fstab for automatic mounting during every boot.

• /etc/fstab

 

 

Fields are: device special file, mount point, FS type, options, backup frequency (unused), fsck pass number.

Root volume must have pass number 1 and other volumes must have > 1. Allowed FS types are: swap, swapfs, ignore, hfs, vxfs, cdfs, nfs, or lofs.

# begin /etc/fstab      
/dev/vg00/lvol1 / hfs defaults 0 1
/dev/vg00/lvol3 ... swap defaults 0 0
/dev/vg00/lvol4 /opt hfs defaults 0 2
/dev/vg00/lvol5 /tmp hfs defaults 0 2
/dev/vg00/lvol6 /usr hfs defaults 0 2
/dev/vg00/lvol7 /var hfs defaults 0 2
/dev/vg01/scratch /scratch hfs rw,suid 0 2
/dev/vg01/home2 /home hfs rw,suid,quota 0 2
/dev/vg01/pub /pub hfs rw,suid 0 2
/dev/dsk/c1t2d0 /lcdrom10 cdfs ro,suid 0 0
/dev/vg01/www /usr/www hfs rw,suid 0 2
derf.cso.uiuc.edu:/home /derf/home nfs rw,suid 0 0
# end

• NFS filesystems

/etc/exports
/usr/sbin/exportfs
/etc/rc.config.d/nfsconf
/sbin/init.d/nfs.server start

• Starting and stopping HPUX
• Booting
1. ESC to interrupt boot sequence

[system will do a search for bootable devices]

• Shutting down

/sbin/shutdown -r -y now
/sbin/shutdown -h -y now
/sbin/shutdown -y now

• System V startup scripts

/usr/newconfig
/sbin/rc
/sbin/rc?.d/
/sbin/init.d/
/etc/rc.config.d/

Run levels:
• s single user
• 2 multi-user; no NFS server capabilities
• 3 multi-user with NFS server
• 4 same as 3, but with HP VUE

who -r gives current run level
/etc/inittab
        
to change runlevels:
/sbin/shutdown -y 0     # to go to single user state
/sbin/init      # bring the system up in the new runlevel

• Printing

Use /usr/sbin/sam to add/remove/configure printers if possible. If not, /usr/sbin/lpadmin would be a good command to read about. There is quite a bit of help in the HP-UX System Administration Tasks manual (available on LROM).
