System Configuration
Now that you have installed or updated to HP-UX 11i v1, and installed
any additional software and patches, your next task is to configure your
system. Many of these tasks can be found in Managing Systems and
Workgroups: A Guide for HP-UX System Administrators. The following
list breaks these tasks in to several categories to assist you in finding the
information you need:
• Networking and Connectivity
— Manually setting system information: you can use the
set_parms command to configure your system’s hostname, IP
Address, DNS and other network and system data. For more
information about set_parms, see the “Making Adjustments”
topic in Chapter 3, “Configuring a System” of the Managing
Systems and Workgroups: A Guide for HP-UX System
Administrators book, or the set_parms (1M) manpage.
— Configuring Built-in PCI Networking: depending on the type
of network interface your system has, see the following
documents on http://docs.hp.com:
— Ethernet (10/100Base-TX): Using PCI 10/100Base-TX/9000
— Gigabit Ethernet: Using PCI 1000Base-T and HSC/PCI
1000Base-SX (Gigabit Ethernet)
— Configuring LAN: If you plan to manage a local area network,
see Installing and Administering LAN/9000 Software on
http://docs.hp.com.
• File System Administration
— Setting Up File Systems: Depending on how you want to manage
your physical volumes, choose one of the following:
— LVM: “Administering a System: Managing Disks and Files”
in the Managing Systems and Workgroups: A Guide for
HP-UX System Administrators on http://docs.hp.com.
— VxVM: VERITAS Volume Manager 3.5 Administrator’s
Guide on the Instant Information CD.
