Hewlett-Packard

HP Logo

I currently have four HP-UX machines. HP and HP-UX feel very "business-like" when interacting with them, similar to how IBM machines feel.
HP-UX's system administration tool, SAM, is well-designed and feels complete. In later versions of HP-UX, they transitioned from Motif GUI applications to a web-based management tool called SMH, which has a similar look and feel to iLO interfaces. I haven't spent much time with the later HP-UX versions yet, but I plan to experiment with HP 9000 containers and Integrity VM.

Of course, I'll also keep an OpenVMS 8.4 installation on my Integrity machine. One day, I hope to build a VMS cluster with x86-64, Itanium, Alpha, and VAX (if it's supported).

Enabling NFSv2 on Ubuntu 22.04

I had issues mounting an NFS export on a Ubuntu 22.04 server on some older OSes like HP-UX and Tru64. I had to enable NFSv2 to allow these systems to mount the NFS export.

In /etc/default/nfs-kernel-server , change RPCNFSDOPTS to include version 2, like this:

RPCNFSDOPTS="--nfs-version 2,3,4 --debug --syslog"
Then, in /etc/nfs.conf , in [nfsd] , add vers2=y
Then restart nfs: sudo systemctl restart nfs-kernel-server
I have my directory exported like this:
/nfs 10.35.0.0/24(rw,no_root_squash,insecure)
