Details
of Change |
|
The functional areas Kernel Configuration, Distributed Print
Services (DPS), and Dump Devices are obsoleted beginning with HP-UX
11i v1.6. Users can neither make changes to the kernel parameters/drivers/subsystems,
configure and manage the HP distributed print service mechanism,
nor create/configure/modify dump devices using SAM.
The new Kernel Configuration tool, kcweb, can be used to configure the kernel parameters/drivers/subsystems.
For more information regarding kcweb, refer to “HP-UX
Kernel Configuration” in
this chapter.
SAM is available as PA-RISC binaries only for HP-UX 11i v1.6,
and requires the ARIES emulator to run on HP-UX 11i v1.6 IPF systems.
