HP-UX 11i June 2002 Release Notes

General System Administration and Performance Monitoring
Changes to System Administration Manager (SAM)
Chapter 9
170
Because only the attached devices are displayed, the hierarchical view is more
convenient and easier to use then backtracking to the Devices List from the
Peripheral Devices area.
• Added new Actions menu item, Analyze Critical Resources.
This item displays a dialog listing all resources, including devices, file systems,
device files, and processes that are affected if the selected card fails or is suspended
from operation. It will work on systems and cards that are capable of OLAR, as well
as those that are not. It determines if any of the resources are critical to HP-UX or
SAM (and this would cause either to fail if the resource were lost). This menu item
properly accounts for resources that have alternates, backups, or mirrors.
• Added support for DLT device tape densities (DLT_42500_24, DLT_42500_56,
DLT_62500_64, DLT_81633_64).
• In the Tape Devices and Backup and Recovery areas, added support for the
following new tape drives:
— HP C7145/C7146 Autochangers
— HP Surestore SDKT 220 tape drive
• Added device support for PCI multiplexer needed for Terminals and Modems area.
• Added device support for HP SureStore Disk Array FC60 and the HP SureStore Disk
Array XP256 (as described in the section “Disks and File Systems Area” on
page 168).
System Properties
new for
June 2001
• In the System Properties area, SAM recognizes new processors, if available on the
system, and displays information.
Printers and Plotters
• Added support for the Super I/O Parallel Interface. This allows SAM to recognize
this parallel interface and configure a printer for it.
• Updated the software products supported by SAM that allow the user to configure a
network printer that has a JetDirect interface card.
• Removed obsolete JetDirect software (/usr/lib/admin/hpnpcfg) and added support
for the new HP JetDirect Printer Installer (/opt/hpnpl/admin/hppi) software. You
can now use SAM to configure a network printer using the new HP JetDirect Printer
Installer. SAM still supports the HP JetAdmin Software
(/opt/hpnp/admin/jetadmin).
Terminal and Modems
• Added support for PCI multiplexer cards.
• Added support for modems with hardware flow control.
Documentation Change
• The sam (1M) manpage and online help have been updated.
