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

• 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

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.

Searching for Large Items (exchange)

Best Practice Definition

Retaining unnecessary messages, especially those that contain large attachments,  quickly takes up the storage space on the Exchange server. This can lead to a crash of the server, leading to down time for users. Thus, it is important to apply correct storage practices to these messages. (Exchange is not meant for long term storage of information!)

Best Practice Usage

One of the easiest way to clean up storage space is to go after the largest items first.  Here the steps to find the large items you have in your mailbox:

·         Along the left hand side, near the top, click on the item that starts with “Mailbox”.

·         Go to Tools, Find.

·         Click on the Advanced button.

·         In the upper left hand corner, type “200” in the box next to “At Least” item.

·         Click on OK

·         Click on Find Now.

Once these search results are completed, you can sort the items by Size (click on the Size bar) and concentrate on removing the larger items first.   Please follow the best practices for saving 

Ensuring that the Deleted Items Folder is set to “Empty on Exit”

Best Practice Definition

Until the final implementation of the “Automatically Delete messages in the Deleted Items folder after 2 days” process is implemented, this is a good area to look for wasted storage.

Best Practice Usage

·         Go to Tools, Options.

·         Select the General Tab.

·         Make sure that the check box labeled “Empty Deleted Items folder upon exiting” is checked.
