1. Summary
The UNIX system has been around for a long time, and many people may
remember it as it existed in the previous decades. The UNIX system became the first operating system to suffer attacks mounted over the nascent Internet. As the UNIX system matured, however, the organization of security shifted from centralized to distributed authentication and authorization systems.
Now, a single Graphical User Interface is shipped and supported by all major vendors has replaced command-line syntax, and security systems provide appropriate controls over access to the UNIX system.
Unix Server Installation, Configuration and Networking project for industries, banks which provide data security, data storage space and connectivity between their branches. In this project we learn hp-Unix installation and configuration.
In this project I learned about networking protocols. So that data can travel smoothly.
In today life, every industry needs a Unix admin and network admin.
2. Introduction to HP-Unix Servers and Networking Protocols
The installation process starts by interrupting the normal boot process of an HP system.
In the normal boot process, a server or workstation tries to boot from the
primary boot path. By interrupting this boot process, you can specify a different
boot path containing HP-UX Install and Core OS installation media (like CD ROM). For a successful system installation process, you need to determine the type of your
hardware and check its compatibility with the HP-UX version you are installing. If
the HP-UX version is supported on your system, you can use Core OS Media
(usually a CD-ROM) to install HP-UX. Once you start the installation process,
you can select guided installation, advanced installation, or an installation with
default values. Installation with default values requires minimum user interaction.
During the installation process, you configure system parameters such as the
HP-UX environment; system disk, swap space, and Logical Volume Manager
(LVM) file systems. You can also select the system language and the number of
user licenses. These parameters are common to both guided and advanced
installations. However, when you use the advanced installation method, you can
also make network settings and changes to logical volume sizes.
HP-UX has both 32-bit and 64-bit capabilities. Not all HP servers can run 64-bit
HP-UX. Before installation, you need to know which CPU you have and whether it supports the 64-bit version of operating system. Processor Dependent Code (PDC) is used to check and verify hardware configuration at boot time. It detects and shows what hardware devices are available to the system. From an installation point of view, you use PDC to
determine the disks and CD-ROM drives attached to the system so that you may
specify the installation device and boot options.
Characteristics
Since about 2000 the focus of HP-UX has increasingly been on enhanced reliability, security, workload management, and partitioning. The reliability is provided through single-system quality and self-healing, and in multi-system installations, clustering technology and application failover on a system outage, as well as error monitoring and correction. HP-UX 11i offers a common root disk for its clustered file system.
Security is integrated in HP-UX, with full 'trusted mode' shipping with v3. Features significantly increased with 11i v2, with the addition of kernel-based intrusion detection, strong random number generation, stack buffer overflow, protection, security partitioning, role-based access management, and various open source security tools.
