Back Cover Copy
This is the definitive guide to installing and administering HP-UX 11i Version 2 in any environment, on both HP 9000 and HP Integrity server families.
Drawing on 18 years of on-site HP-UX consulting experience, Marty Poniatowski offers unparalleled practical insight into running HP-UX 11i efficiently and reliably, illuminating features even experienced HP-UX sysadmins find confusing. Poniatowski organizes this book around your day-to-day requirements and your system's lifecycle. He begins with in-depth coverage of installation and bootup, then walks through everything from LVM and kernel configuration through networking. He especially focuses on the capabilities and tools that make HP-UX unique-and how you can use them to save time and money. Coverage includes
Partitioning from start to finish-including vPars and nPartitions installation, creation, and modification
Booting HP Integrity systems with EFI, and HP 9000 systems with PDC, ISL, or hpux
Mastering the Management Processor (MP): console, virtual front panel, and command menu
Using HP-UX's new kernel-building commands: kcconfig, kcusage, kctune, kcmodule, and more
Working with HP-UX's new web-based tools: pd (devices), parmgr (partitions), and kcweb (kernel)
Mapping LBA to slot numbers: clear explanations of a non-intuitive technique
Using Ignite-UX to boot and recover systems across the network
Managing disks, devices, backup, users/groups, and much more

Reader Reviews
HP announced plans to migrate off PA-RISC to Itanium and this is one of very few sources of information about Itanium based HP Integrity platform. So if you are thinking about Integrity, you pretty much don't have much choice and luckily the book is good enough. If you're looking for some HP-UX general reference, this books is good, but not much different from the older books of the same author. So bottomline - if you got Integrity or it's your first HP-UX book - it's a great choice. If you already have a bunch of HP-UX books and no Integrity - probably you won't find a lot of new info in this one.
