host. The directory containing the local host information is named localhost instead of being named
after the IP address.
•
For Linux operating systems, these files are located in subdirectories named according to the IP
address of each host in the /var/hp/log subdirectory of the local host. The directory containing the
local host information is named localhost instead of being named after the IP address.
There is a new file that contains detailed information on the execution of HP SUM.
