Quick Start Guide

optional With 11i v3, software bundles that are not installed with HP-UX by default. You must select
these bundles before installation. Ignite-UX is an example of an optional software bundle.
P
partition A portion of a disk device that appears to volume managers, file systems, and other OS software
as a disk device. Partitions allow different portions of a disk to hold content needed for boot,
OS file systems, diagnostic tools, and other information.
pax An HP-UX file archiving command that extracts, lists, and writes member files to an archive.
Ignite-UX uses pax to produce tar, cpio, and pax formatted archives. See pax(1),tar(1), and
cpio(1).
PDC See Processor Dependent Code.
persistent DSF A DSF conforming to the naming model introduced in HP-UX 11i v3 to support agile addressing.
The device file name contains an instance number, such as /dev/disk/disk#, and the minor
number has no hardware path information.
physical location Device identifier that uses information such as cabinet, bay, and LUN ID to indicate where the
device is actually located. Used to indicate a specific device independent of I/O path changes.
pkg_rec_depot An Ignite-UX command that repackages the Ignite-UX product into a depot on an Ignite-UX
server in order to distribute Ignite-UX software to client systems that use the Ignite-UX server for
network recovery. See pkg_rec_depot(1M).
print_manifest An Ignite-UX command that displays a manifest of the system it is run on. It can either display
the original manifest, or gather information about the current system when it runs. See
print_manifest(1M).
processor
dependent code
The firmware that implements all processor-dependent functionality including initialization
and self-test of the processor. Upon completion, it loads and transfers control to the initial system
loader. Firmware behavior varies depending on the hardware series. See pdc(1M).
product In SD-UX, a collection of filesets, individual filesets, or both.
PXE Stands for preboot execution environment. A protocol built on top of DHCP on HP-UX
Itanium-based systems used to request boot services from a server in order to load the operating
system.
R
reboot To stop all running code including the kernel, restart a computer, and boot the system. See
shutdown(1M) and reboot(1M).
RECCMDS
A compressed tar archive of commands required for expert recovery on PA-RISC systems.
RECCMDSIA
A compressed tar archive of commands required for expert recovery on Itanium-based systems.
recommended With 11i v3, software bundles that are recommended and should be installed with HP-UX
because they fulfill required software dependencies, if any exist. You can deselect the bundles
before installation.
recovery See system recovery.
recovery archive An archive that retains host specific customizations from the system. See archive.
recovery image A system-specific snapshot of a system that contains hostname, IP address, networking
information, all files and directories essential to bringing up a functional system, as well as
optionally including specified data on a disk, volume group, file, or directory basis. It is created
with make_[tape|net]_recovery.
recovery shell See expert recovery.
registered client A client system that has its MAC address registered with the server in order to always boot to the
same assigned IP address. For PA-RISC systems, the client’s MAC address is assigned to an IP
address in the /etc/opt/ignite/instl_boottab or /etc/bootptab file. For
Itanium-based systems, the default is to use the /etc/bootptab file.
required With 11i v3, software and network driver bundles that are required and always installed with
HP-UX. Software in this category cannot be deselected.
