SAM Logging
All actions taken by SAM are logged into the SAM log file at
/var/sam/log/samlog
. The log entries
in this file can be viewed using the SAM utility command
samlog_viewer
(see samlog_viewer(1)).
samlog_viewer
can filter the log file by user name, by time of log entry creation, and by level of detail.
Functionality Obsolescence and Changes
The following functional areas of the previous SAM interface have been removed, changed, or are
planned to be obsolete in a future release of HP-UX. Alternate procedures are listed as appropriate.
• Trusted systems is planned for obsolescence post HP-UX 11i V3 release.
• Backup and Recovery. Use the
fbackup and
frecover commands from the HP-UX system prompt.
You can also use backup tools, such as pax(1), from the HP-UX command prompt.
• Tape Drives. Add or remove device entries by editing the
/etc/inittab file or use insf, mksf, and
rmsf commands from the HP-UX command prompt.
• Terminals and Modems. Use
insf, mksf, and rmsf commands from the HP-UX command prompt.
• Uninterruptable Power Supplies.
• Performance Management. Monitor the performance of HP-UX using the commands
iostat, ipcs,
top, sar, and vmstat.
• Process Management. To manage processes for such functions as stopping, continuing, changing prior-
ity, use
ps, nice, kill, and crontab.
• Routine Tasks. Tasks such as shutting down the system and removing files that are large, unowned, or
core files are handled by
shutdown, and find.
• Run SAM on Remote Systems. Executing or configuring SAM on remote systems is no longer needed,
because all systems are managed through HP Systems Insight Manager (HP SIM). For more informa-
tion on HP SIM, see
http://www.hp.com/go/hpsim
.
• Custom applications cannot be added using SAM. Any custom application that needs to be added in
SAM must provide its own registration files. The registration file has a specific format. You can view a
sample registration file from
/usr/sam/tui/sam/reg
.
WARNINGS
sam cannot be run in the background even if the DISPLAY environment variable is set from HP-UX 11i
V3 release.
The Disks and File Systems area of SAM does not display or configure all the types of devices when the
legacy mode of mass storage stack is disabled.
