Online Status Information

Software applications that run on HP-UX hosts display status and descriptive
information about the disk system and its components. SAM is the system
administrator’s interface to specific HP-UX functions. STM is the service
engineer’s tool for information, diagnostics, firmware updates, and more.

the instructions below to use SAM:
