Configuring Your HP-UX 11i v1.6 System
Now that you have installed HP-UX 11i v1.6, 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: 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” section 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 PCI
1000Base-SX (Gigabit Ethernet)
— Configuring a LAN: If you plan to manage a local area network,
see Installing and Administering LAN/9000 Software

— Setting Up File Systems: Depending on how you want to manage
your physical volumes, choose one of the following:

Files” in the Managing Systems and Workgroups: A Guide for
HP-UX System Administrators on http://docs.hp.com.
