Why is it ok to aix?
Because aix isnt hpux... ( I can remsh and get ipconfig on hpux, but then I know also how hpux works and so would never do such thing...)
How can i change Ip to hp ux and do administration?
Already answered but I will repeat for a last time
In your case ( the knowledge you have shown)
>How can i change Ip to hp ux ===> man set_parms
>do administration? ===> man sam
yeah i know, what i am trying to say, how can i do remote administration? like remote useradd,change IP,lvextend,set_parms etc. via remote..all i can do in remsh to hpux, was just common commands like uname,ls,cat,bdf, no administrative command.
I can do administrative command via remote to aix,solaris. So far linux isnt working for me also.
i know how to do administrative command in hpux using command line or even sam.But how can i do it via remote, i can not find it in sam. What if my master server is AIX box or Solaris, Or Linux. I want to administrative my servers w/ different flavors. I am preparing for DR. I cant administrate the HPUX using my AIX box and linux.
I am restricted to HPUX,

Does anyone there knows how to fix hpux and linux box
Yep, and I hope you understand I dont want to be blamed for corrupted HP servers by giving unsupported solutions and leaving unix.com in a delicate position ...
Im off to Paris (IBM TSM tuition...) next week, so if you agree, I will give you a few thoughts to meditate so you can build up some arguments/solutions/questions etc...
On my return we may discuss about what you think about them and try to elaborate some solution that may satisfy all of us, and perhaps with this approach, others may enter the discussion and construct a great "How To" for the community...

(2) Arent you using X?
If so why cant you open a terminal on all remote box?
its because you want it to be batch?
...
-----------------
(1) What is needed for DR?
a) How are you going to deal with this?
b) ...
-----------------
can i do remote administration?
sam can be configured to to remote administration...
see (2) and my reasons:
I never create a user other by connecting myself to the box, for it gives me the opportunity to go around and check the system...
-----------------
About remsh ( ssh should be prefered...)
What is the difference between (on a HP box):
a) remsh server
b) remsh server cmd
You answer correctly this question and Im sure you will no more ask how to remsh box ifconfig...(and I have said nothing...)
(forgive my english Im trying hard...)
preparing for disaster recovery, We have live IP (production IP) and dr ip.
so when disaster strike the production server, automatically our DR servers will serve as live. So the IP's in Live server will be used by our DR servers. Its not wise to change 50 different unix flavor DR servers IP's manually. Hope you get what i mean. So i build a script a remote script that will execute changed of IP those server.
No need to use X, the important is you can chnged IP, you can remote administrartion.
-- regarding adduser, its just my sample that i can not adminster in hpux via remote :).
anyway maybe i need to edit somne configuration file or whatsoever, to do remote administration
thanks dude..
