Like the first edition of this book, the second edition also covers
three main objectives to provide a comprehensive resource to
individuals, including novice, IT/Non-HP-UX administrators, and
HP-UX administrators who intend to take the new HP Certified
Systems Administrator exam HP0-095 and pass it; to provide a quick
and valuable on-the-job resource to HP-UX administrators,
administrators of other UNIX operating systems, IT managers,
programmers, and DBAs working in the HP-UX environment; and 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 38 chapters and is structured to facilitate readers
to grasp concepts, understand implementation procedures, understand
basic troubleshooting, learn command syntax, configuration files,
and daemons involved. The 38 chapters are divided into three key
areas: UNIX Fundamentals, HP-UX System Administration, and HP-UX
Network Administration. 1. UNIX Fundamentals (chapters 1 to 6 and
23) covers the basics of UNIX. Most information is not specific to
a particular UNIX flavor, rather includes general UNIX concepts,
file manipulation and security techniques, vi editor, shell and awk
programming, basic commands, and other essential topics. Unlike
many other similar books, a chapter on shell scripting is presented
after covering HP-UX System Administration area. This is done
purposely to supply readers with practical examples based on the
knowledge they gain from UNIX Fundamentals and HP-UX System
Administration chapters. 2. HP-UX System Administration (chapters 7
to 22) covers the HP-UX-specific system administration concepts and
topics, including system partitioning and HP-UX installation;
software and patch management; user and group administration; LVM
and VxVM management; file system and swap administration; system
shutdown and startup procedures; kernel configuration and
reconfiguration techniques; backup and restore functions; printer
and print request management, job automation and process control;
and system logging and performance monitoring. 3. HP-UX Network
Administration (chapters 24 to 38) covers HP-UX network
administration concepts and topics, such as OSI and TCP/IP
reference models; network hardware overview and LAN card
administration; IP subnetting and routing techniques; basic network
testing and troubleshooting; internet services and sendmail; time
synchronization (NTP) and resource sharing (NFS, AutoFS, and CIFS)
services; naming (DNS, NIS, and LDAP) and boot services; automated
installation techniques and high-availability concepts; and system
security and hardening. Each chapter begins with a list of major
topics to be covered in the chapter and ends with a summary.
Throughout the book, tables, figures, screen shots, and examples
are given for explanation purposes. The output generated because of
running commands and shell scripts is highlighted in light grey
background to differentiate from surrounding text. The book
includes several appendices, one of which contains 672 practice
exam questions. Answers to practice exam questions and tables of
commands, important files, and service daemons are included in
appendix area as well.
