Configuring Your HP-UX 11i v2 System
Now that you have installed or updated HP-UX 11i v2 and any
additional software and patches, your next task is to configure your
system. You can find many of these tasks in Managing Systems and
Workgroups: A Guide for HP-UX System Administrators.
The following list breaks these tasks into 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 Managing Systems and Workgroups: A
Guide for HP-UX System Administrators book, or the set_parms
(1M) manpage.
• File System Administration
— Small Memory Systems (less than 1GB/CPU RAM): If you have
less than 1GB/CPU of memory, please see Appendix C,
“Controlling Memory Utilization of VxFS 3.5 on HP-UX 11i v2,”
on page 155 for details about optimizing VxFS for your system.
— Setting Up File Systems: Depending on how you want to manage
your physical volumes, choose one of the following:
— LVM: See the Managing Systems and Workgroups: A Guide
for HP-UX System Administrators on http://docs.hp.com.
— VxVM: See the VERITAS Volume Manager 3.5
Administrator’s Guide on the Veritas web site
— Network File Systems (NFS): If you want to make local
directories available to other hosts on the network, see Installing
and Administering NFS Services on http://docs.hp.com
• Managing Users and Groups
