HP-UX 11i Internals
HP-UX under the hood: practical insight for optimization and troubleshooting
To maximize the performance, efficiency, and reliability of your HP-UX sysem, you need to know what's going on under the hood. HP-UX 11i Internals goes beyond generic UNIX internals, showing exactly how HP-UX works in PA-RISC environments.
HP experts Cooper and Moore systematically illuminate HP-UX kernel data structures and algorithms for memory management, process and thread scheduling, I/O control, files and file systems, resource management, and more. They focus on HP-UX 11i, while also offering valuable insight for those using earlier versions. - PA-RISC architecture: register set, virtual memory, key instructions, and procedure calling conventions
- HP-UX kernel organization: hardware-dependent and independent data structures
- Process and thread management: proc tables, memory management, scheduling, and the complete process/thread lifecycle
- System-wide memory resources: allocation and mapping to physical memory
- HP-UX paging and swapping
- Files and filesystems: traditional UNIX filesystems, HFS, VFS, and dynamic buffer cache
- I/O and device management: addressing, DMA, interrupts, device files, I/O configuration, device driver assignments, and I/O request pathways
- Logical Volume Management (LVM): abstracting physical disks from the disk I/O system
- HP-UX multiprocessing: challenges, data structures, and interfaces
- Kernel communication services: semaphores, message queues, shared memory, signals, and the kernel "callout" system
- Signaling in complex threaded environments
- System initialization, from vmunix to init: running HP-UX on diverse platforms
Whether you administer HP-UX, tune it, troubleshoot it, or write kernel modules for it, you'll find HP-UX 11i Internals indispensable.

Customer Reviews & Comments
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. This book is truly invaluable.
