The suite of kernel configuration tools provides several key features for system administrators:

  • All kernel configuration tasks can be performed in a single graphical interface.

  • All kernel configuration tasks can also be performed with a cohesive set of commands with the same user interface and same behavior.

  • Kernel configurations can be saved and restored, and moved between systems.

  • Administrators can save any number of kernel configurations, and can switch between them at will — often without a reboot.

  • The running kernel configuration is automatically backed up (if desired) before each configuration change.

  • The system automatically maintains a detailed log file of all kernel configuration changes.

  • Kernel modules and kernel tunable parameters now have descriptions associated with them. Kernel tunable parameters have online documentation, and descriptions of the relationships between them.

  • All kernel configuration commands can produce output in both user-friendly and script-friendly formats. HP supports release-to-release compatibility for the script-friendly formats.
