script hook Predefined mechanisms allowing user-defined scripts to run at specific points during the
execution of the installation. Within the Ignite-UX installation procedure there are various script
hooks: pre-config, pre-load, post-load, post-config, and final. See instl_adm(4) under “Command

selectable For 11i v1 and 11i v2, software bundles that are not installed by default with HP-UX. You must
select these bundles to install them. Ignite-UX is an example of a selectable software bundle.
server A computer that provides software and services to clients.
setup_server An Ignite-UX command that performs administration tasks for an Ignite-UX server from a
command line interface. The same functionality is available with the Ignite-UX GUI. See

commands typically use the prefix “sw”, such as in swinstall and swverify.
stand alone In terms of Ignite-UX (as opposed to any other usage) a client system that is not network booted,
but may still use an Ignite-UX server for installation or recovery.
standard label
tape

tape.
subnet A separate part of larger a network connected via network gateways.
SWAP A use designation typically for an LVM logical volume or a VxVM volume for paging. See
swapon(1M).
SWAP+DUMP A use designation typically for an LVM logical volume or a VxVM volume that can be used for
DUMP or SWAP.
SYSCMDS
A compressed tar archive of commands in the LIF volume or on an Ignite-UX server, required
for installation of PA-RISC systems.
SYSCMDSIA
A compressed tar archive of commands in the LIF volume or on an Ignite-UX server, required
for installation of Itanium-based systems.
system image See image.
