terminals, compatible emulations, and all HP terminals.
Supported File System Types and Layouts
The HP-UX 10.x file system layout is quite different from HP-UX 9.0x
releases. The 10.x file system is modeled after the UNIX™ SVR4 and
OSF/1 systems. This layout provides such benefits as the separation of
OS software from application software, and it also resembles the UNIX
standard layout used by many other computer companies.
HP-UX 10.x supports the following file system types:
File System Types
• UFS/HFS or VxFS (Journaled File System) on local disk volumes.
• NFS.
Disk Layouts The file system installed by Ignite-UX will be supported on the following
disk layouts:
• "Whole disk" (single file system, single swap partition disk layouts).
• The Logical Volume Manager (LVM).
The Logical Volume Manager is offered on all HP 9000 platforms.
Because it helps to organize file space across multiple physical disks, you
are encouraged to adopt this method of disk management, if you are
using multiple disks. See the manual System Administration Tasks, or
the lvm(7) man page for details.
Series 700 Software Disk Striping is replaced by LVM disk striping for
all HP-UX 10.x systems. LVM disk striping is supported by Ignite-UX.
SDS can be converted to LVM via the utility sdstolvm. If you upgrade to
HP-UX 10.x from 9.x, as opposed to installing it, this conversion will be
done for you automatically during the upgrade.
LVM disk striping can be set up on some volumes during the installation.
However, striped volumes cannot be mirrored later on. Note that not all
types of volumes may striped. This is due to an unbalanced amount of
disk space assigned to the root/boot/swap volumes on the root disk that
must not be striped.
