High Availability Monitors Version A.03.02 Release Notes

NOF API Verbs (ACTIVATE_SESSION to OPEN_FILE)
CONNECT_NODE
Chapter 3 147
CONNECT_NODE
An application uses this verb in order to establish communications with
a SNAplus2 node (active or inactive). The verb returns a handle
identifying the node, which the application can then use on other NOF
verbs to indicate the target for the verb. The application should always
issue DISCONNECT_NODE for any open node handles before it exits.
The CONNECT_NODE verb can also be issued on a HP-UX client
computer as well as on a server; this allows you to use SET_CS_TRACE,
QUERY_CS_TRACE, SET_TRACE_FILE, and QUERY_TRACE_FILE
to control client-server tracing for the client. See the descriptionsof these
verbs for more information. No other NOF verbs can be issued to client
computers.
