HP-UX Kernel Configuration Commands
Chapter 3 41
HP-UX Kernel Configuration Commands
These are a set of system administration commands to configure, build
and manage new kernels with all associated kernel components, and
individual DLKM modules.
The public interface for kernel configuration:
• config (1M)
• kmadmin (1M)
• kminstall (1M)
• kmmodreg (1M)
• kmpath (1M) - new public interface
• kmsystem (1M)
• kmtune (1M)
• kmupdate (1M)
• mk_kernel (1M)
• master (4)
• system (4)
HP-UX Kernel Configuration (KC) commands run native on
Itanium-based systems, including DLKM Phase 1 support. In addition,
they have been enhanced to support the following new kernel features:
• New Boot Loader based on MFS (Memory File Storage)
KC commands have been modified to set up the appropriate
kernel-specific links for the boot loader.
• Boot-Time-Loading of Kernel Modules (BTL DLKM)
KC commands are enhanced to support configuring and managing
BTL modules. The module-specific configuration attributes
Supported Loading Phases and Configured Loading Phase are
added and supported throughout the KC commands.
• Kernel ID String
config (1M) now generates a kernel ID string (KIS) each time a new
