Kernel Configuration Features

All kernel configuration tasks can be performed in a single graphical interface.

All kernel configuration tasks can also be performed with a cohesive set of commands with the same user interface and same behavior.

Kernel configurations can be saved and restored, and moved between systems.

Administrators can save any number of kernel configurations, and can switch between them at will — often without a reboot.

The running kernel configuration is automatically backed up (if desired) before each configuration change.

The system automatically maintains a detailed log file of all kernel configuration changes.

Kernel modules and kernel tunable parameters now have descriptions associated with them. Kernel tunable parameters have online documentation, and descriptions of the relationships between them.

All kernel configuration commands can produce output in both user-friendly and script-friendly formats. HP supports release-to-release compatibility for the script-friendly formats.
