HP-UX 11i December 2003 Release Notes: HP-UX Servers and Workstations > Chapter 6 HP-UX 11i Version
1.0 Operating Environment Applications
HP-UX 11i Foundation Operating Environment |
|
|
The HP-UX 11i Foundation Operating Environment is the standard OE from which the Enterprise OE and Mission Critical OE have been derived by adding appropriate applications. The HP-UX 11i Foundation OE includes the base 32/64-bit HP-UX Operating System, network drivers, other always-installed functionality, and the following applications: Always-Installed Applications. Default-Installed Applications. For information on always-installed networking and mass storage drivers, see Chapter 7 “Networking and Mass Storage Drivers”. updated for September 2002With the September 2002 release, Base VERITAS Volume Manager has been upgraded to version 3.5. The following products are installed by default with the Base VERITAS Volume Manager Bundle 3.5 for HP-UX (swlist version B.03.50.5):
The VRTSvxvm product replaces the HPvxvm product available with previous HP-UX 11i releases. It is the same product, but since HP and VERITAS have moved to a binary model for VxVM products, VERITAS handles all the packaging and the new name reflects this. The HPvmsa product is no longer supported with VxVM 3.5. VERITAS has moved to a Unified GUI (UniGUI) product for 3.5. The VRTSob, VRTSobgui, VRTSvmpro, and VRTSfspro products are all part of the UniGUI product. VERITAS has moved to SIG licensing for VxVM 3.5. As such, the VRTSvlic package is required for correct functioning of VxVM. During upgrades from previous OEUR or AR releases, the previous HPvxvm and HPvmsa products will be replaced by the above new products. Previous ELM licensing keys will still work with the new SIG licensing package (that is, if a customer has installed the VxVM full product on their December 2001 system and then upgrades to 3.5, they will not need to get new license keys to get the same full functionality). With VxVM 3.5, changes have been made to Ignite-UX to support VxVM “rootability.”[9] Customers can select at installation time to have their root disk managed by VxVM. (They do not have this option with Update-UX, however.)
The following documentation can be found on the Instant Information CD and in the /usr/share/doc/vxvm directory:
The online manual pages are installed with the VRTSvxvm.VXVM-ENG-A-MAN fileset in the /usr/share/man directory. Part of the HP On Demand Solutions program (see “On Demand Solutions”), Codeword iCOD is a purchase model in which processor capacity can be instantly increased to accommodate increasing demands. With Codeword iCOD, you initially purchase a specified number of activated system components and license deactivated system components for activation through the application of right-to-use codewords. new for December 2003Codeword iCOD version 6.0 has been added as an always-installed product. The Event Monitoring Service (EMS) is a framework for monitoring system resources which includes configuring resources for monitoring, checking resource status, and sending notification to target systems when configured conditions are met. updated for September 2003EMS has been updated to version A.04.00.01 to incorporate defect fixes. updated for June 2003A new command line utility, EMS CLI, is available to configure and manage persistent monitoring requests for EMS monitors, such as HA Monitors, Hardware Monitors, and Kernel Monitors. EMS CLI can be used to perform the following activities:
EMS A.04.00 will support IPv6 on HP-UX 11i.
The following documentation is currently available:

For a more detailed description of changes, please refer to the following documentation in the “Networking and Communications” section at http://docs.hp.com:
Web-Based Enterprise Management (WBEM) (http://www.dmtf.org/) is a platform and resource independent DMTF (Distributed Management Task Force) standard that defines both a common model (i.e., description) and protocol (i.e., interface) for monitoring and controlling a diverse set of resources. The HP WBEM Services for HP-UX product is the HP-UX implementation of the DMTF (Distributed Management Task Force) WBEM standard. This product is based on The Open Group (TOG) Pegasus Open Source Software (OSS) project (http://www.opengroup.org/pegasus/). new for December 2003HP WBEM Services for HP-UX, version A.01.05, is now included as a default-installed component in the 11i v1 Operating Environments. Major features in the A.01.05 release include the following:
This is the first release of HP WBEM Services to support strong SSL encryption. Interoperability between HP WBEM Services 1.1 and 1.5 is not supported. Manpages are packaged with the product and are placed in the directory /opt/wbem/share/man. The HP WBEM Services for HP-UX System Administrator's Guide and the HP WBEM Services for HP-UX Version A.01.05 Release Notes are available on the Web at http://www.docs.hp.com/hpux/netsys/index.html. Further information can also be found at the HP WBEM Solutions Web site at http://www.hp.com/large/infrastructure/management/wbem/hpux/index.html. The HP-UX Runtime Environment for the Java 2 (RTE) Platform provides the Runtime Environment which allows you to deploy the latest Java technology with the best performance on PA-RISC systems running HP-UX 11.0 and 11i. updated for September 2003The Runtime Environment for Java versions 1.2, 1.3, and 1.4 will be installed. (See the following documentation section for the location of further information.)

HP-UX Support Tools provide a complete set of tools for verifying, troubleshooting, and monitoring HP system hardware, including CPUs, memory, interface cards, and mass storage devices. Support Tool Manager (STM) is the platform for executing online diagnostics. The commands to start it are xstm (GUI interface), mstm (menu-driven interface), cstm (command line interface), or stm (general). STM is part of the OnlineDiag bundle delivered through Hardware Enablement on the OE media and on the Support Plus CD. Offline Diagnostic Environment (ODE) is the platform for executing offline diagnostics. Normally it is run from the Support Plus CD with the system offline. EMS Hardware Monitors allow you to monitor the operation of a wide variety of hardware products and be alerted immediately if any failure or other unusual event occurs. The EMS Hardware Monitors are started automatically with no user intervention.EMS Hardware Monitors are part of the OnlineDiag bundle delivered through Hardware Enablement on the OE media and on the Support Plus CD.
The HP-UX Support Tools have been modified to support new products, such as Superdome systems. With HP-UX 11i, the Support Tools are automatically installed with the HP-UX 11i Operating Environment CD. It is no longer necessary to load the Support Tools from the Support Plus media. (The Support Plus media, however, still contains the Support Tools, and will continue to be distributed. Offline tools are run from the Support Plus CD and cannot be run from the HP-UX 11i Operating Environment CD.)
Disk space required by the HP-UX 11i Support Tools is comparable to the disk space required for previous releases (in the range of 60-70MB). There are minor changes in monconfig, the user interface for configuring EMS Hardware Monitors. These changes relate to the client configuration files which have been added to support the multiple-view (Predictive-enabled) feature. If you have scripts which invoke monconfig, they may have to be modified. For more information on these changes, refer to “Adding a Monitoring Request” in Chapter 2 of the EMS Hardware Monitors User’s Guide (June 2000 or later edition) available by searching on the manual title at: Alternately, you can just run monconfig on HP-UX 11i to see the revised dialog. The http://docs.hp.com/hpux/diag/ web site also has tutorials, FAQs, Release Notes, and manuals documenting the Support Tools. Although some documentation is also available through other means, such as through the Support Plus CD, the web pages provide the latest information.

(For further information about SCM, see “Servicecontrol Manager (SCM)”.) SCM 2.5 used Netscape Directory Server (NDS) for the repository. SCM 3.0 uses MySQL instead of NDS for the repository. Therefore, after you upgrade to SCM 3.0, you can remove NDS if it is not used by another product. The upgrade process including steps to remove NDS is covered in the HP Servicecontrol Manager 3.0 User's Guide available at http://docs.hp.com. MySQL information is available at www.mysql.com. MySQL information as it applies to SCM 3.0 is available at http://docs.hp.com. Perl is a high-level programming language created and enhanced by the Open Source community. Perl takes the best features from other languages, such as C, awk, sed, sh, and BASIC, among others, and at least a dozen other tools and languages. new for September 2001Included as of the September 2001 release, Perl programming language version 5.6.1 is a release of ActivePerl, a product of ActiveState Tool Corporation. For more information see the following:
For further information, see the following URLs: Pluggable Authentication Module (PAM) Kerberos version 11i is a service for authenticating users or services across an open network. HP-UX 11i provides Kerberos authentication through a Kerberos-Client product which is a part of the HP-UX base operating system. Kerberos, the primary authentication mechanism for Windows 2000, is integrated with Active Directory Service to provide enterprise-wide account management. This necessitates the implementation of the Kerberos authentication mechanism on HP-UX as a Pluggable Authentication Module. Pluggable Authentication Module (PAM) [OSF RFC 86.0] is the standard framework, and is easily configurable to support multiple authentication technologies on HP-UX. PAM Kerberos provides the PAM mechanism using Kerberos. The PAM service module was implemented as a shared library, libpam_krb5.1. This library is built by linking with libkrb5.sl, and is therefore not dependent on the libsys.sl library. The HP-UX 11i implementation of Kerberos version 5 protocol provides enterprise-wide strong user authentication. Using encryption during the user authentication process, Kerberos infrastructure provides privacy and integrity of user login information since passwords are no longer communicated in clear text over the network. HP-UX system entry services can work with any Kerberos v5 Server, namely, MIT Kerberos and Microsoft Windows 2000. Thus, passwords can be effectively unified in an Intranet with heterogeneous systems such as UNIX and Microsoft Windows 2000. Furthermore, support of password change protocol has been implemented. These two features can significantly reduce user administration complexity in a heterogeneous environment. The HP-UX applications using PAM include telnet, login, remsh, ftp, rexec, rlogin, dtlogin, and rcp. PAM Kerberos interoperates with a Key Distribution Center (KDC) operating on either a UNIX or a Microsoft Windows 2000 server. The PAM Kerberos module is compliant with IETF RFC 1510 and Open Group RFC 86.0. PAM Kerberos is also available under the product number J5849AA on the Applications Software CD. This product provides a libpam_krb5.1 library, a pam_krb5(1) manpage, and a release note document. updated for September 2002Now included with PAM Kerberos is the pamkrb5val tool, which will help administrators validate the PAM Kerberos setup. The tool validates the following files for PAM Kerberos-related entries:
Also included is a sample pam.conf file. The minimum disk space required to install the product is 1MB. Additional disk space of about 1KB per user in the system /tmp file is required to store initial Ticket Granting Tickets in the credential cache file. HP-UX PAM Kerberos is implemented under the PAM framework, which allows the new authentication service module to be plugged in and made available without modifying the application or rebooting the system. PAM Kerberos works on HP servers and workstations with a minimum of 32MB of memory and sufficient swap space (a minimum of 50MB is recommended).
PAM Kerberos (libpam_krb5.1) and PAM DCE (libpam_dce.1) plug-in modules can not be stacked together in the pam.conf file because of different principal styles and credential file paths. If so stacked, the results will be unpredictable. If the password has expired on a Microsoft Windows 2000 KDC, you will not be asked for a new password and will not be allowed to log in. When changing passwords on a MIT KDC with a version prior to 1.1, up to 45 seconds may elapse before the password is actually changed due to the selection mechanism of the change password protocol. The following documentation is available:
The Runtime Plug-in (JPI) for the Java 2 platform allows you to use a version of the runtime environment that differs from the runtime environment embedded with Netscape Navigator 4.61 or later. updated for September 2003The Runtime Plug-in (JPI) for the Java 2 platform versions 1.2, 1.3, and 1.4 will be installed. updated for June 2003The Runtime Plug-in (JPI) for the Java 2 platform versions 1.2 and 1.3 will be installed. For prerequisites, installation information, and documentation, read the release notes included in the Plug-in software. Or, for the most up-to-date information, go to the Web at http://www.hp.com/go/java. HP Servicecontrol Manager (SCM) provides a convenient multi-system management solution for HP-UX and Linux systems. You can access SCM using a web-enabled graphical user interface or a command line interface. SCM enables you to execute HP-UX and Linux manageability tools including custom tools and scripts across multiple systems simultaneously. updated for December 2003SCM has been updated to version 03.00.04 to include Java SDK version 1.4.1.04. updated for September 2003SCM has been updated to version 03.00.02 to incorporate minor defect fixes. updated for June 2003SCM 3.0 provides the following new features:
See also “MySQL”. SCM 3.0 supports the following operating systems:
SCM 3.0 agents are only compatible with an SCM 3.0 central management server (CMS). Therefore, if you have an existing SCM 2.5 management domain, you need to upgrade these systems from SCM 2.5 to 3.0 before they can manage or be managed by a system running SCM 3.0. Documentation for SCM is available at http://software.hp.com/products/SCMGR/ or http://docs.hp.com.
