Welcome

Introduction to HP-UX
Operating System
HP-UX (Hewlett Packard UniX) is
Hewlett-Packard's proprietary
implementation of the UNIX operating
system, It runs on the HP PA-RISC and
Integrity ( Itanium ) systems.
HP-UX Processer Road Map
 The PA-RISC Processor Family:
Since 1986, HP has been building HP-UX systems based on proprietary
Precision Architecture RISC (PA-RISC) technology. PA-RISC uses Reduced
Instruction Set Computing (RISC) principles to provide high performance, and
high reliability. The early PA7000 series of chips were built on a 32-bit
architecture, while the newer PA8000 series chips are built on a 64-bit
architecture.

 The Itanium Processor Family

The Itanium processor chip was developed by HP/Intel

Partnership. The Itanium 2 architecture uses a variety of technique
to Increase parallelism. A key to the high performance of Itanium
chips is the Design philosophy at the heart of theItanium processor
family, Explicitly Parallel Instruction Computing (EPIC).
HP-UX Operating System:

Release Name Operating System

Release Identifier
HP-UX 11.0 B.11.00

HP-UX 11i v1 B.11.11

HP-UX 11i v2 B.11.23

HP-UX 11i v3 B.11.31

Operating environments:

 HP sells HP-UX Operating system as

Operating Environments (OEs). OEs are
operating system plus application bundles
designed to simplify installation and
maintenance
Operating Environments v3:
 Base OE (BOE)
 Virtual Server OE (VSE-OE)
 High Availability OE (HA-OE)
 Data Center OE (DC-OE)
Base OE:

 The Base OE offers complete HP-UX

functionality including security, networking,
Web functionality, and system and
software management applications.
Virtual Server OE:
 The VSE-OE is designed for customers
seeking higher resource utilization or who
are embarking on consolidation projects
and need virtualization for a flexible
UNIX® environment.
High Availability OE:
 For customers requiring continuous
access and high availability of service to
data and applications, the HA-OE delivers
this with HP MC-Serviceguard
Data Center OE:
 The Data Center OE delivers built-in
business-critical virtualization, featuring
HP Serviceguard failover clusters. DC-OE
delivers the superset of HP-UX 11i v3
software included in the other OEs.

HP Integrity rx8620 (Mid range server)
HP Integrity rx7620 (Mid range server)
HP Integrity (Entry level server)
HP-UX File Hierarchy
Introducing HP-UX File System:
System Directories
Application Directories
System Directories
 /usr Operating System commands,
Documentations, libraries.

 /sbin Minimum command to need to boot and

mount the file system.

 /opt Third Party Application

 /var Variable Data ( Such as logs & spooler files )

 /dev Device Files

 /etc System configuration Files

 /mnt Temporary Mounts

 /tmp Operating System temp. files

 /stand Kernal and boot Loader

 /home User Directories

/usr - Directory
 /usr/bin System user commands

 /usr/conf Kernal configuration

 /usr/lbin Back-ends to other commands

 /usr/sbin System administration commands

 /usr/share/man Man Pages

 /usr/share/doc Release Notes

/var - Directory
 /var/adm Administrative files & log files
 /var/adm/crash Kernal crash Dumps
 /var/mail Incoming Mail
 /var/spool Spooler Files
 /var/opt Application-specific runtime files
 /var/tmp Temporary files generated by
commands in the /usr
/var/adm - Directory
 /var/adm/cron/ Log files maintained by Cron.
 /var/adm/sw/ Log files by Software Distributer
 /var/adm/syslog/ Contains system log files
 /var/adm/sulog Switch user log information file
 /var/adm/wtmp contains history of successful login
used by last command
 /var/adm/btmp contains history of all bad logins
used by lastb command

Customizing user accounts
Why to customize user account
 Set the user terminal type

 Customize the user prompt

 Customize the user’s PATH variable

 Special script to executed when login

Sample Customization
ASCII logins
 The first is a system-wide script maintained by the
system administrator to define general environment
variables required by all users.

 The second is a local login script maintained by each

user. Local login scripts can override or modify the
system defaults on a user-by-user basis.

 The optional additional local login script can define

additional environment variables or setadditional shell
features.
CDE Logins
 The /usr/dt/bin/dtlogin program is responsible for displaying the CDE
login screen and validating user names and passwords. The color
and appearance of the dtlogin screen may be customized by
copying /usr/dt/config/Xconfig to /etc/dt/config/Xconfig, and manually
editing the file.

 The /usr/dt/config/Xstartup program sets initial values for the DISPLAY,

HOME, PATH, USER, SHELL, and TZ variables. This is a system-wide
script that executes anytime any user logs in via CDE.

 The final script that executes by default at CDE login is the user's personal
~/.dtprofile. This script contains little but comments by default, but the user
may define additional environment variables in this script if desired.
/etc/skel Directory
 When a new user account is created with SAM or useradd,
default configuration files are copied from the /etc/skel
directory to the new user's home. Several files are included
in /etc/skel by default:

/etc/skel/.profile# ksh/posix local login script

/etc/skel/.login # csh local login script
/etc/skel/.cshrc # csh additional login script
/etc/skel/.exrc # vi startup configuration file

Additional files can be copied into /etc/skel as well, if your

applications require configuration files in users' home directories.
