Tru64 UNIX

This document, "Tru64 UNIX System Administration" (September 2002, Version 5.1B or higher), is a comprehensive manual for experienced system administrators. It details the procedures and tools necessary to administer and maintain the Tru64 UNIX operating system on an AlphaServer.

The manual provides practical guidance on a wide range of administrative tasks, including:

• System Operations: Startup, shutdown, and recovery procedures.
• Configuration: Customizing the system environment, dynamic and static kernel configuration, and managing disks (partitioning, copying) and UNIX File Systems (UFS).
• Resource Management: Administering user accounts and groups, and managing print services and system accounting.
• Monitoring and Troubleshooting: Utilizing tools for system monitoring and testing, basic and advanced event logging (Event Manager), and crash dump administration.
• Archiving: Backing up and restoring mass storage devices.

It primarily focuses on how to perform these tasks using UNIX commands, shell scripts, and the SysMan Menu or SysMan Station user interfaces, assuming the administrator has existing knowledge of UNIX operating system concepts.
