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.
