Manually editing configuration files
Some sections of this manual describe the system files that are updated or modified when you

systems manually by editing these files, as opposed to invoking the documented utility; however,
HP strongly recommends that you use SMH to update the system files.
In many cases, the HP SMH is the best alternative to manually editing system files, thus it is the
utility that is most frequently discussed in this manual.
