Overview of HP SMH for Kernel Configuration

You can configure and manage the kernel without remembering the syntax of the kernel configuration commands or the exact names of modules and tunables by using HP SMH, the web- and text-based HP-UX kernel configuration tool to configure and manage the kernel of your system. HP SMH has the following features:

Web-based and text-based interfaces.
Kernel tunable management: monitor and modify.
Alarm management: add, modify and remove.
Kernel module state management: modify.
Access to manpages for tunables.
Command preview – When a tunable, module or alarm is modified, you can use the command preview feature by choosing the Preview button. This will show the kernel configuration command invocation that will perform the requested task.

You can access Kernel Configuration in any of the following ways:

From the command line with the kcweb -t command.
With a web browser through the Kernel Configuration area of HP-UX System Management Homepage. See Figure 10-1.

By default, the kcweb command invokes the Mozilla web browser. If you want to invoke kcweb with any other browser, set the BROWSER environment variable to the path name of the browser you wish to use. For more details, see the kcweb(1M) manpage.
