Kernel Management


Under HP-UX, the kernel file is located in the /stand directory. The HP-UX kernel is built in the /stand/build directory using files in that directory, the /user/conf/master.d, and the /stand/dklm files

kconfig :-This command is the administrative command for HP-UX kernel configurations. When it is given without any options, it returns summary information about the currently running kernel configuration. It also features options that enable you to perform the following operations:

• force a backup of the currently running kernel configuration

• make a copy of the saved kernel configuration

• delete a specified saved kernel configuration and any files associated with it

• export the specified saved kernel configuration

• load the specified saved kernel configuration, overwriting any changes that were being held for next boot

• display all settings of the currently running configuration that are not at their default value

• change the title of the saved kernel configuration

kctune :-This command is the administrative command for HP-UX kernel tunable parameters. It gives information about tunable parameters and their values, and makes changes to tunable values

kcmodule :-This command is the administrative command for HP-UX kernel modules. It gives information about kernel modules and their usage, and makes changes to their usage

kcweb utility :-The kcweb utility is a web interface to configure the kernel. It helps to diagnose problems related to certain kernel parameters
