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
