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,
