Next generation single-system management on HP-UX 11i v2 (B.11.23)

With these innovations comes the need for a simpler and more comprehensive mechanism to manage
kernel configurations. HP-UX 11i v2 offers a new suite of kernel configuration management
commands and a new web-based graphical interface that provide unified kernel configuration
management.
Administrators can configure and manage the kernel without remembering the syntax of the kernel
configuration commands and the exact names of modules and tunables by using the web-based user-
friendly HP-UX Kernel Configuration tool. This tool can be launched by running the kcweb(1M)
command at the HP-UX command line prompt.
Figure 12 displays the GUI of the Kernel Configuration tool.
