Product Description: HP-UX Internals introduces readers to the "under the hood" aspects of the HP-UX operating system. The book illustrates the kernel data structures and algorithms used to provide process/thread scheduling, I/O control and system resource management. Both hardware dependent and hardware independent data structures are examined and explained. The topics covered help readers approach system administration, tuning and troubleshooting from a more informed perspective, and challenge them to make more effective use of their HP-UX systems. The material is focused on the HP-UX 11i (version 1.0) release of the HP-UX operating system, but includes some historic aspects of its development to establish and understanding of its current incarnation.
HP-UX 11i Internals (Hewlett-Packard Professional Books) If a deeper understanding of HP-UX is required, then I strongly suggest the "HP-UX 11i Internals," with 432 pages of material for concepts from 2004 by Chris Cooper, January 22, 2004.
The first level is the HP-UX Certified System Administrator (CSA.)
There is a new version, "HP-UX CSA : Official Study Guide and Reference (2nd Edition,)" with 1072 pages of material for concepts from 2004 by Rafeeq Ur Rehman, August 25, 2004.
The "first version" book, "HP Certified: HP-UX System Administration," with 832 pages of material for concepts from 2000 by Rafeeq Rehman May 31, 2000. This book, still holds its value as shows in the pricing.
The next level is the HP-UX Certified System Engineer (CSE.)
There's a HP-UX CSE book, "HP-UX CSE : Official Study Guide and Desk Reference," with 1704 pages of material for concepts from 2004 by Charles Keenan, September 10, 2004.
A very good text on kernel level I have read other books related to UNIX internels but this is the first one specific to HP-UX. The auther has done the job very well. It was interesting to see internal data structures. I would recommend this book for people who want to understand HP-UX in depth.
Very detailed, excellent presentation This is a very thorough, well-presented text covering the "guts" of HP-UX. It is packed with excellent diagrams, kernel structures, syscall details, and pretty much everything "under the hood." All this is presented clearly: sufficient high-level overview to provide the "big picture", followed up with the very fine details. adb and q4 are used throughout, along with many illustrative examples and sample output.
