With each successive release of HP-UX, system
administrators have increasing ability to make changes to the configuration
of the HP-UX kernel without experiencing costly and inconvenient downtime.
Innovations such as Dynamic Kernel Tunables and Dynamically Loadable
Kernel Modules allow critical maintenance tasks to be performed without
sacrificing application availability.
With these innovations comes the need for a simpler
and more comprehensive mechanism to manage kernel configurations.
This chapter describes a suite of kernel configuration management
commands and a web- and text-based interface that provide unified
kernel configuration management. It is intended for use by HP-UX system
administrators.
