Migrating the printer configuration from one server to another server using SAM:

On the source server:

• SAM  --> Printers & Plotters --> LP Spooler --> Save/Restore Spooler Configuration
• Actions --> Save Spooler Configuration
• This saves the information in the directory /var/sam/lp
• Save this directory using tar:  "tar -cvf /tmp/lp.tar /var/sam/lp"
• Copy this tar file to the destination server

On the destination server:

• Extract this file:  "tar -xvf lp.tar"
• SAM --> Printers & Plotters --> LP Spooler --> Save/Restor Spooler Configuration
• Actions --> Restore Spooler Configuration

Login Environment

/etc/profile - main profile for all users

/etc/profile.env

export TMPDIR=/tmpsort
export TEMPDIR=/tmpsort

source a profile:    ". ./profile"

Changing prompt:

export PS1=$(hostname):'$PWD # '

This gives a prompt that has the hostname followed by the current directory, ending in the # (useful for root logins).

Networking

netstat -a   <--ports
netstat -i  <--interfaces
netstat -r  <--routing table
netstat -rv  <--routing table and subnet mask

lanscan - provides hardware information about the nics in the server
lanadmin - menu driven interface to administer lan nics
lanadmin -x 0  bypass menu and show lan driver specific options for nic with id 0
lanadmin -X 100FD 0  - bypass menu and set nic at id 0 to 100 MBS, Full Duplex

ioscan -fnkC lan   - shows ioscan information for device type "lan"

lanscan -i|awk '{print $1}'|xargs -i ifconfig {}   -> does an ifconfig on all defined interfaces on that server

Changing the IP Address and Subnet mask:

• set_parms ip_address
• Then supply ip address and subnet mask when prompted.  This process will require a reboot.

Changing the Default Gateway

Command	Description
cancel	deletes print jobs from queue
hppi	jet admin
ls -d -o file	prints a file
lpadmin
lpsched -v
lpstat	lists jobs in queue. -s  -t
pr .profile | lp -n3	prints
pr -o10 -l64 -F -h | lp	prints using margins of 10, page length of 64, header on each page

• cd rc.config.d
• vi netconf

Network Time Protocol (NTP)

ntpq -p   --> lists ntp peers and their time sync status
ntpq -p   --> lists time sync status with that server (slightly different detail than ntpq -p)

/etc/ntp.conf  --> configuration file
Changes to the configuration require ntp daemon (xntpd) be stopped and restarted (restart is not recognized):

• /sbin/init.d/xntpd stop
• /sbin/init.d/xntpd start

7400 Disk Array

armdsp -a va7400   <-- real time display of the disk array
armmgr -D va7400 HPA6189A00SG218H0024
armdiscover  /opt/sanmgr/commandview/client/sbin    -->  Tells us the serial number
armhost -d
armhost -d 50060b000014e313 00SG218J0024
ioscan -fnc disk | more

cvui - creates luns

• Choose storage array
• Create LUN
• Find last LUN
• Create with new lun number
• View existing luns

Process to export disk configuration to a file:

• sam --> actions-->export
• volume group name  --> mapfile name

Fibre Channel Devices

ioscan -fknC fc  <-- Lists fibre channel adapters.

To identify the devices:

ls -l /dev/fc*

fcmsutil - utility for fibre channel operations
fcmsutil /dev/

Procedure to run fcmsutil on a fibre channel:
ioscan -fnC disk|more   --> Identify hw path of fibre channel adapter
ioscan -fnH 1/0/0/0  -->  Identify device of fibre channel adapter

or ls /dev/fc* on older adapters (arbitrated loop)

fcmsutil /dev/fcms2 stat  -->  fcmsutil that shows status of fibre channel adapter

CIFS (Samba)

/opt/etc/samba/smb.conf

Device Management

HP-UX is a hardware path based operating system.  When it boots up it does a hardware detection.  It then compares the hardware that it detects with the hardware that is listed in /etc/ioconfig.  If new hardware is detected, it is assigned the next available configuration information in the proper hardware path.

rmsf - remove special files
insf - install special files

insf -C disk -e   <-- This command will re-install all of the device files for the class "disk"

lsdev   <-- Lists devices and drivers in the system

ioscan   <-- searches for all devices and displays their hardware path
ioscan -fnC disk  <-- searches for all devices of  class (C) disk
ioscan -fnH  <-- searches for a LUN

last 2 digits of hardware path in the LUN in octal  (1/12/0/0.1.23)

Disk Devices

A disk device will have a name in the following format:  c#t#d#

c# is the card number
t# is the target number
d# is the LUN - this is normally 0 unless RAID is being utilized


scsictl -a /dev/rdsk/c?t?d?  <-- display control parameter information about the disk device
scsictl -a -m queue_depth=4 -m queue_depth /dev/rdsk/c?t?d?      <-- sets the queue depth

CD-ROM Devices

nohup /usr/sbin/pfs_mountd &  - starts process
nohup /usr/sbin/pfds &  - starts process

pfs_mount -o xlat=unix /dev/dsk/c0t1d0 /cdrom        - mounts cdrom

Cdrom won't eject:

1. pfs_umount -c OR
2. kill -9 pfs_mountd and kill -9 mountd

Cdrom won't mount using:  pfs_mount -o xlat=unix /dev/dsk/c0t1d0 /cdrom

1. nohup /usr/sbin/pfs_mountd &
2. nohup /usr/sbin/pfsd
3. /usr/sbin/pfs_mount /cdrom    <-- this uses mounting information in /etc/pfs_fstab

Bootup/Shutdown

shutdown -r 0 --> reboot
shutdown -h now  --> shutdown and halt
shutdown 0 --> shutdown to single user mode
reboot 0 --> reboot
init 1 - single user mode
hpux -is  boots single user mode

Interupting the boot process:

• Configuration Menu
• Information Menu
• Service Menu

GSP Mode

• From the console hit
• Hit at the GSP console login (default is no password)
• Now low level commands can be entered
• ps  --> power status

To reboot to single user mode:

1. shutdown -r 0
2. hit during 10 sec window to interrupt reboot
3. enter:
4. interact with ipl? yes
5. hpux -is  (i=init, s=single user)

To reboot manually to init 3 level

1. shutdown -r 0
2. during 10 sec window
3. bo
4. interact with ipl  --> yes
5. hpux -is   (i=init, s=single user mode)
6. mount -a
7. init 3

Startup/Shutdown Scripts

/sbin/init.d
/sbin/rc0.d                                These are all linked to actual scripts in /sbin/init.d
/sbin/rc1.d
/sbin/rc2.d                                scripts with k are kill scripts and scripts with s are start scritps.
