Solaris 2x to HP-UX 10x
2007-12-25 11:01:00
HP-UX. I appreciate all the help.
The general rule, or the lesson I am learning is that you have to be
very specific with your job requirements, git it in writing if possible.
I have noticed that companies are willing to bend the truth to get you
on-board. There is a great demand for technical people, specialy UNIX
people; sometimes that demand forces managers to get the people in and
take their chances; chances been that they might just pick up and leave.
Just make sure that you have assurances about your specific area of
expertise or interest and a clear understanding of what you will be
doing. The company I am working for "The larges Corporate Bank
WorldWide is looking to fill upto six UNIX spots in the Wall Street area
NY, NY (let me refrase that, on my floor). I don't think that they are
too picky if you are HP or SUN; they just want the UNIX hands.
I have decided to stay put for now. I get a nice smile on my face "hear
to hear" twice a month. I can't get desparate or worry too much about
HP-UX. I have asked for HP training in the mean time. The issue for me
was that I was looking to work on Solaris (9-5) and keep up with the NT
world on my own time. This HP-UX learning period will affect my ability
to keep on top of NT and will force me to keep up with Solaris on my own
time. Another issue is that I have NOVELL, NT, Solaris, and now I will
be getting an HP backgrown; in reality we know that a company can only
pay you for one set of skills at the time...maybe two skills. You don't
want to find yourself knowing a little of everything and a lot of
nothing.
I have included the responsed and the URL's provided by many of you. I
tried to edit the contents to make it more readable...
Thank you again.

Books:
The best book comes with the HP-UX media. Its called HP-UX
Systems Administration Tasks (Part number B2355-90079).
Alternatively try HP-UX 10.x Systems administration by
Marty Poniatowski (isbn 0-13-125873-7), its quite good but rather GUI
orientated (whoops I've just reread your message and you've already got
this).Finally the O'Reilly Essential Systems Administration book by
Aeleen Frisch (isbn 1-56592-127-5) is a must for any administrator as it
compares Solaris with HP-UX as well as AIX, LINUX and ULTRIX.
Get the book "The HP-UX System Administrator's "How To" Book" by
Marty Poniatowski, Prentice Hall, Englewood Cliffs, NJ,
isbn 0-13-099821-4 (my copy), 1994 (my copy).

For shareware:
The Liverpool Archive is THE site for HP sysadmins. Sorry, I don't
have the
URL but a search engine should easily find it. (I DIDN'T
FIND IT?!)
Checkout the following:

Where to Start:
I recommend that you start with http://docs.hp.com. It's a
start, and quite
a good collection of information. There are also the
following

ports
http://hpux.cae.wisc.edu/ -- a large collection of ports

Here is info on an HP mailing list similar to
Sun-Managers:
To subscribe to hpux-admin-digest, send the command:
subscribe hpux-admin-digest
in the body of a message to "majordomo@dutchworks.nl". If
you
want to subscribe something other than the account the
mail is
coming from, such as a local redistribution list, then
append
this address to the "subscribe" command; for example, to
subscribe "local-hpux-admin":
subscribe hpux-admin-digest
local-hpux-admin@your.domain.net
When you recieve your first mailing, there will be further
directions at the bottom of the digest.
Hope this is enough to get ya started!! Have fun!!
