Clustering with SANs
Spencer Sells - Gadzoox Networks
The continued growth in the importance of intranets, extranets, and e-commerce results in an ever increasing cost of downtime and, therefore, a need for applications to be available 24x7. One way to cost-effectively achieve high availability is to use clustering technologies to allow multiple servers to work together so that there is always one application server available. A storage area network (SAN) enables the clustered servers to access the same storage devices, a requisite for clustering. In addition, a SAN based on Fibre Channel technology provides multiple high-performance paths between servers and storage, unmatched scalability, support for distances up to 10 kilometers, and reduced storage management costs.

Dual Boot Environment for Linux
David Border - Bowling Green State University
This presentation details typical disk partitioning and file system configuration issues for systems with the hard drive allocated to both Linux and non-Linux operating systems. Discussion will be based on Intel-style computer platforms. Three areas will be discussed: (1) disk partitioning, (2) dual boot operation, and (3) OS file systems capabilities. Partition structure will be defined, partitioning methods discussed, and partitioning options examined. The structure of the dual boot environment and the methods of the dual boot installation and operation, including loaders, will be explored. A review of basic file systems will place an emphasis on the Linux ext2 file system and interoperability between Linux and non-Linux file systems. Discussion includes detailing unique dual boot configurations, such as the configuration based on a Linux OS residing as a file within a Microsoft Windows file system.

HP's Three-OS Strategy for IPF
Kevin Spooner - Hewlett-Packard Company
This presentation provides a detailed description of HP's three-OS strategy for Itanium Processor Systems. The positioning of HP-UX 11i, Linux 64-bit, and Microsoft Windows 64-bit will be covered, as well as interoperability details. Detailed coexistence plans, as well as our "multi-OS single system" vision, will be shared. Details of "IS and IS NOT" capabilities for each of the operating systems and the future trends for each system will be covered. Current application availability by OS will be presented, as well as future plans. Interactivity and an active Q&A; will be promoted in this session.

HP-UX 11i Patching
Bob Campbell - Hewlett-Packard Company
The changes introduced for patching in HP-UX 11.0 have been extended. This presentation will discuss advanced topics applicable to HP-UX 11i and 11.0 patch management. The most significant change is the introduction of enforced dependencies for patches. This enables other functionality, such as patch filters, as well as affects depot behavior. Other topics include known 11x patch issues (such as split patches) and infrastructure changes (recomended patches/ftp site restructuring).

HP-UX 11i Security Features
Donald Pipkin - Hewlett-Packard Company
This presentation discusses the security features in HP-UX 11i. It will cover both included security features and HP-UX add-on products from HP and will describe the features and benefits as well as basic implementation.

HP-UX 11.x Technolgy Review
John Fenwick - Hewlett-Packard Company
This tutorial will provide a technical introduction to some of the major new technologies that have been introduced in the HP-UX 11.x family of releases, including HP-UX 11i and 11.0 and continuing with the later updates.

HP-UX Patch Management
Ann Pakenham - Hewlett-Packard Company
This paper discusses the patch management features of HP's IT Resource Center. It describes how to use these features in scenarios that include finding patches to fix problems, proactively patching your system to prevent known problems from occurring, and obtaining specific patches, say, on the advice of a software vendor. The paper covers the concept of HP Patch Ratings and how they factor into the patch identification and selection process. You'll learn how to use these features to find the right patches for your particular circumstance.

Improved HP-UX Install Media
Greg Ivans - Hewlett-Packard Company
Recent improvements with the 11.x install media now support a simplified installation of software for add-on I/O cards, peripherals, and new HP systems. The install utility now handles the selection of software from multiple sources on both CD media and network depots. New configuration options provide choices for key operating environments, including commercial servers and technical computing systems with their different software requirements. The install media also supports installation and recovery from both SCSI and Fibre Channel boot devices.

Integrating HP-UX with Win2K
Doug Lamoureux - Hewlett-Packard Company
Because Windows 2000 uses industry standards such as Kerberos and LDAP, the MS Windows 2000 server can now act as a single source for user/group storage and authentication for both UNIX and Windows users.

Introduction to Linux System Administration
Rob Lucke - Hewlett-Packard Company
This session offers information about Linux system installation, including the steps necessary to create "dual" boot systems. With the system installed, the next topic is configuration of devices, including sound cards, graphics boards, network interface, and other essential system hardware. Throughout the session, comparisons will be made between Linux' techniques and file-system structure and those of HP-UX. The goal is to use the HP-UX system administrator's knowledge to speed the learning of Linux system administration. This is a basic introduction but focuses on useful lessons learned by the presenter.

Managing Windows NT/2000 Storage
Tim Brunner - WQuinn
This presentation covers best practices in Windows NT/2000 server storage management, including quotas, reporting, screening, and capacity planning.

Mission-Critical Clustering on Linux
Tom McNeal - Mission Critical Linux, Inc.
This talk will describe the operational attributes necessary in any high availability cluster, failure scenarios, and Convolo's design that addresses the requirements of enterprise-caliber deployments on commodity hardware.

NFS Performance Tuning
Dave Olker - Hewlett-Packard Company
This presentation will describe the many areas of the HP-UX 11.0 and 11i client and server that affect NFS performance, including: Client-side and server-side daemons such as biods, automounters, rpc.lockd and rpc.statd, nfsd, and rpc.mountd, Protocol Version 2 (PV2) and Protocol Version 3 (PV3) differences, Buffer cache sizing considerations, NFS mount parameters, TCP versus UDP, CacheFS, Kernel parameters, and Troubleshooting procedures.

Storage Area Networks
Franz Hilldenbranz - In Time Systems Computerhandels GesmbH
This presentation will focus on a design and implementation study of a large customer site in Austria in order to give a good overview of SANs and explain the differences and problems in how they work.

XML and Internet Computing
Klaus Fittges - Software AG, Inc.
XML has gained acceptance as a preferred methodology for e-business implementation. This presentation explores the nature of XML, its usage and standardization, and what future trends to look for as XML continues its rapid evolution.
