Résumé

Companies are increasingly turning to Linux on HP Integrity systems for high-performance computing, large enterprise and database applications, and 64-bit application development. However, Linux administration in the HP Integrity's Itanium® 2-based environment is significantly different than on conventional IA-32 platforms. Now, there's a comprehensive guide to administering HP Integrity systems running Linux. HP Solution Architect and Linux/Unix expert Marty Poniatowski walks you through every essential tool and technique, from installation and bootup, compiling kernels to building clusters. Coverage includes:

A primer on basic Linux system administration for those migrating from other environments
The HP Integrity boot process: EFI, POSSE, and the Management Processor
Using the HP Enablement Kit for Linux to install, configure, and recover Linux on HP Itanium 2 systems
Using Red Hat Package Manager (RPM) and LILO
Working with the GNOME and KDE user interfaces
Adding and partitioning SCSI disks on HP Integrity Servers
Maintaining file systems with fsck, e2fsck, inodes, and Superblock
Compiling and tuning Linux kernels
Linux system startup and shutdown scripts for HP Integrity systems
Understanding, configuring, and using Linux networking
Working with netstat, route, ipconfig, iptables, nslookup, and other key commands
Managing users, groups, processes, backup/restore, and other basic system administration tasks
Running Samba to deliver Windows file and print services
Running Linux, HP-UX and Windows Server 2003 concurrently on the same HP Integrity system
Shell programming with the Linux bash shell

HP co-developed the Itanium architecture, and HP Labs scientists maintain the Itanium Linux kernel. This is the only book to leverage HP's unique knowledge about administering Linux on Itanium platforms. It will be indispensable for every sysadmin running Linux on HP Integrity or other Itanium systems -- regardless of their experience with Linux, HP-UX, or other UNIX systems.
