Ignite-UX Administration Guide for HP-UX 11i (B3921-90079, October 2013)

INSTCMDSIA A compressed tar archive of commands in the LIF volume, or on an Ignite-UX server, required
for disk layout on an Itanium-based system.
instl_adm An Ignite-UX command that checks syntax on Ignite-UX configuration files and manages the
configuration file in an install file system on an Ignite-UX server. See instl_adm(1M).
instl_bootd A boot protocol daemon for Ignite-UX clients that responds to PA-RISC systems requesting boot
services from the Ignite-UX server. See instl_bootd(1M).
instl_combine An Ignite-UX command that combines a CD boot image or DVD boot image with install content.
See instl_combine(1M).
instl_dbg An Ignite-UX command that will parse and debug an Ignite-UX client's configuration files. See
instl_dbg(1M).
ISL See initial system loader (ISL).
ISO image An ISO9660 formatted file that is to be written to a CD or DVD. Used for a bit-for-bit burn of a
CD or DVD.
itool The name of an internal IUX program that presents the Ignite-UX client installation configuration
user interface. This interface has five tabs: Basic, Software, System, File System, and Advanced.
It is used to customize all or part of the operating system installation on the client before an
installation or recovery. This command is not invoked from the command line.
K
kernel The HP-UX kernel is the executable code responsible for managing the computer’s resources,
such as: allocating memory, creating processes, and scheduling programs for execution. The
kernel resides in RAM (random access memory) whenever HP-UX is running.
See also install kernel.
L
LANIC See MAC address.
largefiles An option available on certain file systems that allows file sizes greater than 2 gigabytes.
legacy DSF A DSF with the hardware path information such as SCSI bus, target, and LUN embedded in the
file’s minor number and file name, such as /dev/dsk/c#t#d#. These are the only DSFs available
in releases prior to HP-UX 11i v3.
legacy hardware
path
The representation of a hardware path as it exists in releases prior to HP-UX 11i v3. It is composed
of a series of bus-nexus addresses separated by slashes (/) leading to the HBA. After the HBA,
additional address elements, such as domain, area, port, target, and LUN, are separated by
periods (.). The string /0/2/1/0.1.4.0.0.2.7 is an example of a legacy hardware path.
legacy view The representation of legacy hardware paths and legacy DSFs as in releases prior to HP-UX 11i
v3.
LIF See Logical Interchange Format.
LIF volume Portions of content needed for boot and install combined into a LIF file. The LIF file is included in
boot content and in install content.
link level address
(LLA)
See MAC address.
logical interchange
format
A simple file system implemented on HP computers able to run HP-UX to aid in media
transportability. See lif(4).
See also LIF volume.
logical volume A virtual subdivision of a volume group. See logical volume manager (LVM).
logical volume
manager (LVM)
A specific volume manager type created and managed by the HP LVM product. See lvm(7).
LUN An identifier of a SCSI device. This refers to an end storage device such as a disk, tape, floppy,
or CD. This is the unit itself and does not represent the path to the unit.
LUN hardware
path
A hardware path for a SCSI LUN that virtualizes all paths to the LUN. The first path element is
64000, followed by a virtual bus instance and a logical unit number. Multipathed LUNs have a
