Chapter Review
This short chapter was intended to introduce the concept of using Web servers on HP-UX. HP provides ObAM management tools via a cut-down version of the ever-popular Apache Web server. The full-blown Apache Web server is a free addition to HP-UX, and the configuration file straight out of the box can get a Web server up and running quickly and easily. The default Web page offers
extensive
help in setting up and managing a Web server. HP looks to be continuing and expanding its use of a Web interface to manage HP-UX. Service Control Manager is currently at version 3.00.04, which utilizes a new standard for management tools known as
WBEM
, Web-Based Enterprise Management. WBEM allows customers to manage their systems consistently across multiple platforms and operating systems, providing integrated solutions that optimize your infrastructure for greater operational efficiency. WBEM enables management applications to retrieve system information and request system operations wherever and whenever required. See http://www.hp.com/large/infrastructure/management/wbem/ for more details. At its
core
, Service Control Manager utilizes a Tomcat Web server. Service Control Manager has
components
that run on HP-UX as well as Linux. From a Central Management Station, we can manage up to 1024 nodes. The software integrated into Service Control Manager includes the following:
-
System Administration Manager (SAM)
-
Ignite-UX
-
Software Distributor-UX (SD-UX)
-
Event Monitoring Service (EMS)
-
System Inventory Manager (SIM)
-
Security Patch Check
-
Process Resource Manager (PRM)
-
HP-UX Workload Manager (WLM)
-
Partition Manager
-
Serviceguard Manager
-
Kernel Configuration
-
Common HP-UX and Linux commands
This is the future of System Management!
