Sys Admin Pocket Survival Guide - HP-UXHome HP-UX Supplement AIX

HOW-TOHP-UX 101The default setup of HP-UX often "messes up" ^C and '@' symbol.Default HP-UX /etc/profile map interrupt to "DEL" and kill to @.This cause lot of confusion. So, I recommend that you update your keyboard mapping once you get to a shell prompt: stty intr stty kill stty -a # check your settings.

SAM

Text User Interface (TUI) for sys config (GUI version avail if DISPLAY set to working X server). in /usr/sbinSAM is your friend. It should be the first place to try if you are admin from another OS :)Not as good as aix smitty, but better than solaris that have nothing! Use TAB key to move around, space key for select. Arrow key works.

some of the major files location:/etc/hosts/etc/nsswitch.conf/etc/fstab/etc/lvmconf/vgNN (binary files, but see all volume grp here)/sbin/rc.config.d//sbin/rc.d/

SYSTEM SETUP***** Initial system install checklist: *****

Ensure that / and /usr are fairly big, as these are not not expandable unless in single user mode (or maybe onlineJFS).Most other volumes still need to be unmounted before fs can grow, so estimating correct size is pretty important.OnlineJFS should allow fs expansion w/o unmount like AIX, but more money.

Get latest of all 4 of BUNDLE11i, HWEnable11i, GoldApp and GoldBase and install them. Factory OS install included the latest release of all the above 4 patch bundles.

After bundles, java patches may still be needed. See:http://www.hp.com/products1/unix/java/patches/index.html

Upgrading OS.Default CD media allow for both initial setup and upgrade.Upgrade has special procedure to install lot of depot first when system still running. riptide was upgraded from 11.00 to 11.11, seems to run fine.

--------------

Update HP-UX from 10x and 11.0 to 11i:install update-ux software from CD, then run /usr/sbin/update-ux -s /cdrom HPUX11i-OE.

Refer to Install and update guide in "Instant Documentation" CD.

--HP-UX versionsPA-RISC: 10.20 (EOL), 11.00 (11), 11.11 (11i), 11.23 (ca 2005/05)Itanium: 11.20, 11.22, 11.23



BOOT TIME TROUBLESHOOTING

Recovery of unbootable system.Default setup CD has option to do this. It may help when VxFS has crashed some critical OS partitions.

booting HP-UX machine into single user mode.

http://www.unixhub.com/docs/hpux/hpux_boot.html

(Connect dumb terminal to serial console)

Press and hold ESC at the beginning of the boot process (it should prompt, but if not, just hit ESC like crazy).

In the PDC (firmware processor dependent code), enterBO to boot. (or BO P0 isl), where P0 is the boot device to use,whohwn by SEArch.

When it ask whether to use interactive ISL (initial system load), say yes.a the ISL prompt, enter : hpux -is

[ thre is a 'hpux -lm' for maintenance mode also it probably doesn't mount the / fs using normal method and thus VxFS stuff will not work -lm = lvm maint mode, sometime -is won't work when lvm is corrupted. -lq = lvm, ignore failed mirror drive allow booting of machine when one of the mirrored drive have failed. ll = list content of /stand, thus see filename of alternate kernel usable via eg -lm /stand/vmunix.alternate ]

After this, should see these messages and the login prompt:

Boot: disk(scsi.6;0)/stand/vmunix966616+397312+409688 start 0x6c50

Kernel Startup Messages Omitted

INIT: Overriding default level with level 's'

INIT: SINGLE USER MODEWARNING: YOU ARE SUPERUSER!!#

NOTE: The VGA monitor + pc keyboard may show some optinos.Hit F4 to toggle remote management on (with * on it).This makes serial console usable.

When booted in single user mode with corrupted fs,vgchange can be used to tell Veritas Vol Mgrt which device to use.This is sometime needed even in non-mirrored disk.

vgchange -a y /dev/vg00 lvlnboot -v /dev/vg00

fsck -F vxfs -o full,nolog /dev/vg00/rvol8 # fsck for drives that have lot of errors, this method # may give more instructions to cmd of how to do the cleaning. # by specifying -F vxfs, allow use of intent log (journaling) # feature of JFS and thus completes much quicker.

************************************************************clear out attention light in front panel

thru serial console session:

^B , enter 2xget into gsp mode (Guardian Service Processor cli) give access to bios level control of the machine, view vfp (virtual front panel), clear hw err log, etc.

---------- PDC commands ----------

PDC - Processor Dependent CodeAccessed at boot up time by the hardware to boostrap the system. Step 1 of booting.Only accessible during boot time.Need to hit any key when prompted in a 10 seconds windowsduring boot process to enter the PDC interaction session.The window is after all hardware has been checked and before OS bootstrab process begins.

SEA Search and display bootable device. Booting from CDROM may need to use this to find device path to use for booting.

BO boot, use default devBO PRI boot, using primary (default) devBO SEC boot, using secondary disk. Simple to do dual boot.BO 0/0/2/1.15 boot via specific path, see SEA.

IN enter info menu ALL display all info, there will be machine model strings to determin what class of machine it is. eg 9000/800/A500-5X System Name: riptide is A-class. some software like compiler bound to the 800 designation. Class info usually not shown in tag/model info in front os system :(

ME memory info, tell which bank has what kind of DIMM, vacancy.

---------- ISL commands ----------

ISL - Initial System LoaderInvoked by PDC so that it can load the kernel off /stand from the hard drive.

Interactions in here allow boot into single user mode, etc.See HOWTO section and hpux command is in ISL.

hpux -is # single user mode. No password req!!hpux -lm # LVM maintenance boot mode.hpux -lm /stand/vmunix.prev # boot via specific kernel hpux ll # list kernels avai in /stand

---------- GSP commands ----------

GSP - Guardian Service Processor.BIOS level command, accessible even when machine is in Power Off state.

Use serial console or LAN console, hit ^Bdefault is unsecured so just press enter for username andpassword to gain GSP> prompt access.Accessible all the time, it will not cause any interruption of running system.If machine gets into boot process, user session to GSP will end.

HE = help, LI in there list commands:

==== GSP Help ============================================(Administrator)===AC : Alert display Configuration PC : Remote Power Control AR : Automatic System Restart config.

CO return to console mode, exit GSP. contrast to exit, which will logoff a telnet to the LAN console session.LS, LC Show and configure LAN console settings (IP, hostname, etc), extremely useful, make sure to configure it!TC Send signal to OS, force it to do a core dump and reboot. Probably similar to Sun OBP sync cmd.RS Harshes restart of system, no OS interaction, no core. SUN OBM reset.PC allow turning machine on/off. Can perform power cycle. GSP and LAN console will remain usable after power off. Contrast to SUN LOM and AIX serial access, just need to have power fed into machine.PS Monitor status of power supply, fan, etc.

SL Show log, GSP level logging, with timestamp in UTC/GMT. Use this command to clear attention light.CL Show text message that has been displayed to the console.

VFP display a virtual front panel, a mirror of the LED in front of machine.

RANDOM DAILY TASKS

changing hostname of a machine

Setup boot disk mirroringBoot disk mirroring.

Adapted from HP-UX 11i system administration handbook and toolkit, 2nd Ed, by Poniatowski. p140 Here is the procedure to mirror root disk, which uses HPUX native LVM, and not the Veritas Volume Manager that the OS also ships with.

WARNINGWhile this mirroring software is native to the HP-UX OS, it is an option that requires more money. lvextend -m is the mirroring option that need license to be activated.

###### ++ TODO: find out how to determine if machine has license for mirroring.###

# eg, existing vg00 is in /dev/dsk/c1t2d0 (0/0/1/1.2.0)# new drive for mirror is /dev/dsk/c2t2d0 (0/0/2/0.2.0)

The /etc/fstab before mirroring is:/dev/vg00/lvol3 / vxfs delaylog 0 1 /dev/vg00/lvol1 /stand hfs defaults 0 1

Other Volume Management CommandsHP-UX >= 11 default boot disk is under control of LVM - Logical Volume Manager.

NoteHP-UX shipws with TWO LVM. An native version for core OS partitions, and Veritas Volume Manager for use with datapartitions. Filesystem created by LVM can be hfs (/stand, boot stuff) and vxfs (root, /var, /usr, etc). Further note that in additionto vxfs, HP talks about JFS and onlineJFS, see fsck.



To some extend, this is akin to Solaris, whereby some admin use the Sun Volume Manager (Disk Suite) for OS disks, andVeritas for data disks. HP-UX just happen to ship both pre-installed.

LVM devices are /dev/vg00/lvolNVxVm devices are /dev/vx/dsk/rootdg/volNN

LVM cmds are lv... pv... vg...VxVm cmds are vx...

LV = logical volume, similar to partition/slide of solaris.

newfs, extendfs etc are applied to LV to make usable filesystem.

FILESYSTEMmounting cdrom:

mount -o ro -F cdfs /dev/dsk/c2t1d0 /mnt/cdrom

alternate approach (diff format? iona cd):pfs_mountd &pfsd &pfs_mount /dev/rdsk/c2t1d0 /mnt/cdrompfs_umount /mnt/cdrom

CONNECTIVITY (NETWORK)NFSautomount typical auto startup (from ps):/usr/lib/netsvc/fs/automount/automount -f /etc/auto_master -D ARCH=SC_HPUX # old automount/usr/lib/netsvc/fs/autofs/automountd -D ARCH=SC_HPUX # newer autofs, /net may need some OS path in PARISC

/etc/rc.config.d/nfsconf # set both to be sure! AUTO_OPTIONS="-f $AUTO_MASTER -D ARCH=SC_HPUX" #older automount AUTOMOUNTD_OPTIONS="-D ARCH=SC_HPUX" #newer autofs see sambple config in hpux/nfsconf

/sbin/init.d/nfs.client start # automount/autofs, can read the std out from this script

startup file is in /sbin/init.d/nfs.client



Note that if NIS map auto.master use undescore like auto_home, hpux won't be able to translate that to auto.homeAs such, a slew of files need to be added in /etc/auto_home with conent of+auto.home

/etc/auto.products :: +auto.products/etc/auto.automnt :: +auto.automnt

Converting NIS server to have map with '.' should work.But afraid break other OS platform, not well tested yet.But Ohio NIS use that and it works fine!Ass hole before created the SNAFU for me.

For compatibility issues, it is probably best to avoid both . and _ in the filenameThere should not be reason why one can't use auto_master to have entries like:/products autoproducts # ie, no . or _

Not sure of the effect on auto_home and auto_direct

swinstall -s /home/sa/share/software-in-cd/hpux_aC++/aC++Compiler.800.depot needed to fully specify the depot file before the damn thing will recognize the file. It is really just a tar file.

swinstall -s /export/tmp/bash.depot \* install everything in the depot (in this case, sure there is bash only). see email about where gnu tools are downloaded [http://hpux.cs.utah.edu, depot format, some ins to /usr/local/bin, other to /opt, into product specific subdirs!]

PATCH



patch install eg:(patch is obtained in a "depot" file format, which is really a tar. Instruction presented in here is also in a text file inside the tar.)

http://www2.itrc.hp.com/service/patch/patchDetail.do?patchid=PHSS_20055&context=hpux:800:11:00

1. Back up your system before installing a patch.

2. Login as root.

3. Copy the patch to the /tmp directory.

4. Move to the /tmp directory and unshar the patch:

cd /tmp sh PHSS_20055

5. Run swinstall to install the patch:

[ to check that depot has been downloaded correctly: swlist -d @ /full/absolute/path/PHSS_20055.depot]

swinstall -x autoreboot=true -x patch_match_target=true \ -s /tmp/PHSS_20055.depot

By default swinstall will archive the original software in /var/adm/sw/save/PHSS_20055. If you do not wish to retain a copy of the original software, use the patch_save_files option:

swinstall -x autoreboot=true -x patch_match_target=true \ -x patch_save_files=false -s /tmp/PHSS_20055.depot

WARNING: If patch_save_files is false when a patch is installed, the patch cannot be deinstalled. Please be careful when using this feature.

For future reference, the contents of the PHSS_20055.text file is available in the product readme:

swlist -l product -a readme -d @ /tmp/PHSS_20055.depot

To put this patch on a magnetic tape and install from the tape drive, use the command:

use sam to define new params and build new kernel.restart is needed.

Kernel parameters in default os is not very good for large server, For large java app servers, get HP tool Java2 Out-of-box and it will plug in all desirebleparameters. Probably good for all server. http://www.hp.com/products1/unix/java/java2/outofbox/download .depot, swinstal -s /full/path/to/joob_203_1100.depot -x autoreboot=true \*Req reboot. /usr/sbin/kmtune will display the kernel params. It should modify:maxusers 512 nproc 2048 max_thread_proc 3000 nkthread 6000 nfile 3000 maxfiles 2048 maxfiles_lim 2048 ncallout 6000 maxdsiz 2063835136 tcp_conn_request_max 2048

ADDING INTERNATIONAL LANGUAGE/LOCALE SUPPORTBy default, all the basic support for international language areinstalled. Check with "locale -a".

The CDE language may need to be installed manually:Insert CD2 of HP-UX 11i Foundation Operating Environment, then run SAM Software Install and add the CDE bundle of the desired language.

HARDWARE COMMANDSmodel - give machine model infoDIAGNOSTIC TOOLSdiagnostics tools:

netfmt -(lot of options) /var/adm/nettl.LOGnnn > /tmp/nettl.txt convert the network problem log from binary to text options may have been -l -N -n -f

stm, cstm xstm hardware diagnostic program. text menu, cli and X based. probably not well known, support people use only?

tusk some sort of network troubleshooting util.

RANDOM STUFFFor those from Solaris background:Env variables:SHLIB_PATH is used instead of Solaris LD_LIBRARY_PATHLD_LIBRARY_PATH for 64 bit version libs. Solaris LD_LIBRARY_PATH64LIB There maybe something about the env var also. Not sure.

dos2unix Couldn't find such command tool, only found charconv.

charconv



convert input file to desired output format -u = unix LF -d = dos CRLF -m = mac CR -i inputfile, default is std in -o outputfile, default to std out --help more conversion info, including EBCDIC eg: cat dostext.txt | charconv -u > unixoutput.txt

Compiler: The bundled cc compiler in /usr/ccs/bin/cc_bundled only takes K&R function prototype syntax, not Ansi C. Moneyware aCC is Ansi C compliant and installs to /opt/aCC.

HP-UX Freeware

Info about installing hpux gnu freeware from hpux.cs.utah.edu. into NFS server central location.No real need to use SAM to install the package and xfer to NFS server.Can just do tar trick, see note below. Warning: Some admin may see this as kludge as it bypass the software management tool. Your choice :)

/import/hpux1100/usr/local$ cat dir.info

This dir is automounted as /import/hpux1100/usr/localVarious link would exist pointing to the parent dir of /import/hpux1100, such as /titaniumlegit. It could also be a symlink from slightly diff version of HP-UX 11.x

These files are gnu freeware depot files for HP-UX 11.00 from hpux.cs.utah.edu

The source is netapp:/vol/vol1/depot/hpux1100/usr/local

The source depot files are hacked via untar and set of cp commands to put them into the desired usr/local/bin etc tree structure:

gunzip *.tarmkdir untaredcd untaredfor item in `ls ../*.depot`; do tar xf $itemdone

mkdir -p cleaned/usrcp -pR */*/usr/* cleaned/usr

and finally the cleanred/usr/local dir is moved here.

---

the opt dir is extracted in similar manner:

mkdir -p cleaned/optcp -pR */*/opt/*/* cleaned/opt/
