Hi,

If you like to read up you could start using the docs.hp.com site. This site will provide all the manuals you will need.

Installation and Update Guide:

http://docs.hp.com/en/5991-0792/index.html

UNIX95? Well the standard is here:

http://docsrv.sco.com/DIFFS/UNIX95_Conformance.html

Example:

#!/bin/ksh
# usermem - display memory claimed by a user
# gwild 06232003
#
if [ $# -lt 1 -o \( $# -gt 1 -a $# -lt 4 \) ]
then
echo "Usage:"
echo "usermem \"userid\""
echo "Example:"
echo "usermem gwild"
exit 1
fi
echo " "

USER=$1
t=0
for j in `UNIX95= ps -e -o vsz=Kbytes -o ruser -o pid,args=Command-Line | sort -rnk1 | grep -v Kbytes | grep $USER | awk '{print $1}'`
do
t=`expr $t + $j`
done
echo "\nMemory claimed by $USER: $t Kbytes.\n"

Backups, etc:

Hi Meeraviji ,

1. http://docs.hp.com/en/5971-4264/ch01.html

In short:
i] Put the CD into the CD Drive.
ii] At PDC check boot path. And set through CD.
iii] boot CD_PATH (at PDC).
iv) rest installaton process will guide you.
Check the link for details.

3. Backup and recovery can be done with fbackup and tar. Ignite is a good utility to take system backup. Check # man make_tape_recovery

4. Performance monitoring:
a] CPU :
# sar -u -M 5 5
# glance
# top

b] Memory Monitoring.
# glance
# vmstat 5 5

c] virtual memory
# vmstat 5 5 [ Check for pagein pageout values ,]

d] io Monitoring:
# iostat 5 5

e] Network:
# netstat

f] kmtune [ to set & check kernel parameters ]


Hope this will help you,
Cheers,

Raj.

Hi Meeraviji,

for Question 2. here it is :


UNIX95 Commands/Libraries
--------------------------


HP-UX commands and libraries conform to X/Open Portability Guide Issue 4, Version 2, also known as UNIX95.

See the section "Library Routines (libc)" in Chapter 6 for details on specific changes within each libc interface or command. For a complete list of UNIX95 commands and interfaces, consult the appropriate "X/Open CAE Specification, Issue 4, Version 2" publication or Going Solo published by Prentice Hall. Going Solo also includes a CD ROM that contains the above specification in addition to other UNIX95 manpages.

To enable full UNIX95 behavior, do the following:

Set the environment variable UNIX95. For example, for the POSIX ksh shell:
export UNIX95=




Pre-pend the path /usr/xpg4/bin to the $PATH. For example, for the POSIX ksh shell:


export PATH="/usr/xpg4/bin:$PATH"



To build UNIX95- conformant applications, follow the above steps, in addition to the following:

Define the compile option _XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED=1. See the cc manpages for more details.

Some UNIX95 behavior is not binary-compatible with previous HP-UX behavior. Thus, it is advisable to enable full UNIX95 behavior only in applications that have been verified to work in the UNIX95 environment. If an application has not been verified to work in the UNIX95 environment or if compatibility with previous HP-UX behavior is desired, it is not recommended to enable the full UNIX95 behavior as described above.



Enjoy ,

hth,
Raj.
