This book is designed to cover three objectives. One, to provide a
comprehensive resource to individuals (including novice,
IT/Non-HP-UX administrators, HP-UX administrators) who intend to
take the Certified System Administrator for HP-UX certification
exam and pass it. Two, to provide a quick and valuable on-the-job
resource to HP-UX administrators, administrators of other UNIX
operating system software, IT managers, programmers, and DBAs
working in the HP-UX environment. Three, to provide an
easy-to-understand guide to novice and IT/non-HP-UX administrators
who intend to learn HP-UX from the beginning. This book contains 33
chapters. The book is organized in such a way that it helps its
audience understand concepts, implementation procedures, some basic
troubleshooting, command syntax, configuration files, and daemons
involved. There are three key areas: UNIX fundamentals, HP-UX
system administration, and HP-UX network administration. 1.UNIX
Fundamentals covers the basics of UNIX. Most information is not
specific to a particular UNIX flavor, but rather includes general
UNIX concepts, file manipulation and security techniques, shell and
awk programming, vi editor, basic commands, and other topics.
Chapters 01 through 06 and chapter 21 cover this area. Unlike many
other similar books, a chapter on shell scripting is presented
after covering HP-UX System Administration chapters. This is done
intentionally to provide readers with some practical examples based
on the knowledge they have gained from UNIX Fundamentals and HP-UX
System Administration chapters. 2.HP-UX System Administration
covers the HP-UX-specific system administration concepts and topics
including HP-UX installation methods; software and patch
management; user and group account administration; disk and device
file management; LVM and file system administration; swap space and
printer management; system startup and shutdown procedures; kernel
reconfiguration techniques; backup, restore, and system recovery
functions; job automation and process control; system logging and
performance monitoring; and so on. Chapters 07 through 20 cover
this area. 3.HP-UX Network Administration covers HP-UX network
administration concepts and topics such as OSI and TCP/IP models;
network hardware overview; LAN card administration; IP subnetting
and routing techniques; network troubleshooting tools; system
startup services; naming services such as DNS, NIS, and LDAP; File
sharing tools viz. NFS and AutoFS; Time synchronization using NTP;
internet services administration; BootP/TFTP services; system
security; and so on. Chapters 22 through 33 cover this area. The
beginning of each chapter highlights objectives covered. The end of
each chapter includes a summary as to what is learnt in the
chapter. Throughout the book tables, figures, screen shots, and
examples are given to explain concepts and tasks. The output
generated as a result of running commands is highlighted in light
grey background to differentiate it with surrounding text. The book
includes several appendices one of which contains more than 550
practice exam questions. Tables of commands, important files, and
service daemons are included in separate appendices.
