E Reference information for the HP System Administration
Manager (SAM)
The HP System Administration Manager (SAM) is used to perform HP-UX system administration
functions, including:
• Setting up users and groups
• Configuring the disks and file systems
• Performing auditing and security activities
• Editing the system kernel configuration
This appendix provides instructions for:
• Using SAM to configure the disk devices
• Using SAM to set the maximum number of volume groups
Configuring the devices using SAM
The SAM Areas window displays the system administration functions and allows you to select the
desired function. The Disks and File Systems function allows you to configure new disk devices for
LVM operations.
