The HP-UX Operating System
This course relates HP-UX operating system to other UNIX family
systems and teaches you to use, administer, and develop HP-UX system
components. The course examines the HP-UX operating system architecture.
Learn how to use and control access to the System Administration
Manager (SAM). Learn about system administration tasks including
how to manage disk quotas and swap space, backup and restore files
and file systems, and manage hardware. Learn how to use the Logical
Volume Manager to manage disk logical volumes, mirrored logical
volumes, and disk striping logical volumes. The course explains
how to use the System Security Management to set up a secure system,
manage passwords, and control system access and discusses file
and directory access permissions, and the configuration of secure
NFS clusters. The course provides an overview of X Windows and
describes the graphical user interfaces available within HP-UX,
including the HP Visual User Environment.
The HP-UX Operating System training covers such topics as:
An Overview of HP-UX
Installing the OS
Managing System Configuration
HP-UX System Administration Tasks
The Logical Volume Manager (LVM)
System Security Management
Graphical User Interface
Learn how to describe the unique features of HP-UX and install and maintain
the HP-UX system on workstations and servers. You will be able to describe
important components, directory trees, and file systems and use the Logical
Volume Manager (LVM). You will be able to backup and restore the HP-UX file
system, set up HP-UX system security.

Description
This course covers the origin and history of the HP-UX operating
system and its relationship with other
UNIX family systems. It examines the HP-UX system components and
addresses issues surrounding its
use, administration, and development. The course highlights those
aspects that make HP-UX an
innovative operating system and provides some commonly used UNIX
skills and tricks.
The first unit discusses the HP-UX operating system in a historic
context and it examines the operating
system architecture. It also discusses the relationship between
HP-UX and other UNIX Systems.
Installing the OS discusses the HP-UX installation procedure. This
unit also explains how to administer
installed software packages and how to set or modify system parameters
after installation.
Managing System Configuration examines the System Administration
Manager (SAM). It explains
how to use SAM and how to control access to SAM. It also describes
how to adjust your HP-UX
system configuration and how to limit access to the system.
HP-UX System Administration Tasks examines some important system
administration tasks. It shows
you how to properly boot and shut down the system, and how to manage
disk quotas and swap
space. This unit also demonstrates how to backup and restore files
and file systems and how to
manage hardware.
The Logical Volume Manager is a disk management subsystem that
allows you to manage physical
disks as logical volumes. This unit explains how to manage disk
logical volumes, mirrored logical
volumes, and disk striping logical volumes.
System Security Management explains how to plan and set up a secure
system and how to
manage passwords and control system access. It discusses file and
directory access permissions
and the configuration of secure NFS clusters.
The last unit, Graphical User Interface, provides an overview of
the development of X Windows
and describes the graphical user interfaces available with HP-UX.
It describes the HP Visual User
Environment and explains how to navigate within this environment.
Audience
This course addresses the needs of system administrators, software
developers, IT managers, IT
consultants, and other professionals who work with computer operating
systems, specifically, the
HP-UX operating system.
Prerequisites
The student should have a basic understanding of UNIX operating
systems, file management, and
system administration or Course Technology CBT courses Introduction
to UNIX, UNIX: Files and
Directories, and UNIX System Administration. Knowledge about computer
operating system theory
would also be very helpful.
