Hi,
Can anybody explain the step by step procedure for rebuilding kernel using commands (not thru SAM) in 11.x., because I refered some documents,I got confused with commands kmsystem,config..etc.

Please clarify....

thanks in advance

11.x

# cd /stand/build
# /usr/lbin/sysadm/system_prep -v -s system
# /usr/sbin/kmsystem -S /stand/build/system -c Y vxadv
==> adding vxadv driver to kernel
# /usr/sbin/mk_kernel -s ./system
# mv /stand/system /stand/system.prev
# mv /stand/vmunix /stand/vmunix.prev
# /usr/sbin/kmupdate

# shutdown -r -y 0

Manu,
you should probably know that the kmsystem /
kmadmin set of commands are for HP-UX 11i, v1
(aka 11.11), v1.5 (aka 11.20) and v1.6 (aka 11.22)
only. The commands for hp-ux 11i, v2 (aka 11.23)
and completely different (and much more user
friendly, IMO). See kcmodule(1M) and kconfig(1M)
for 11.23 commands.

Bottomline is, kernel configuration commands for
11.x depends on what .x is.
