Introduction to SNAplus2 Administration Commands
Using snapadmin
To request detailed information, you can use the -d option on the
snapadmin command line instead of specifying a
value of DETAIL for the list_options parameter. The -d option returns detailed information unless you explicitly
specify a value of SUMMARY for the list_options parameter which returns summary information only.
1.1.3 Examples of Administration Commands
This section provides some examples of
snapadmin
commands as you would issue them on the command line. Many
of the parameters in these commands are not specified, so
snapadmin
uses the default values; see the description of
each command in Chapter 2, Administration Commands for details of the default parameter values.
The following commands define connectivity to a remote system over Ethernet. Note the use of angle brackets to
specify the mac_address parameter as a hexadecimal array.
define_ethernet_dlc, dlc_name = DLCNAME, initially_active = YES
define_ethernet_port, port_name = PORTNAME, dlc_name = DLCNAME, initially_active = YES
define_ethernet_ls, ls_name = LSNAME1, port_name = PORTNAME, mac_address = <000000000000>
The following commands define a local LU used for LU6.2, and the partner LU that it communicates with.
define_local_lu, lu_name=LUNAME1, lu_alias=LUNAME1
define_partner_lu, fqplu_name=APPN.PTNRLU, plu_alias=PTNR01
The following command activates a session between the local LU and partner LU, using the standard SNA mode
named #CONNECT. Note the use of a backslash character \ before the # character in this name, to prevent
interpretation by the HP-UX shell.
activate_session, lu_alias=LUNAME1, plu_alias=PTNR01, mode=\#CONNECT
The following commands request information about the definition of the partner LU, its current status, and the
sessions between the local and partner LUs. In all cases, the DETAIL value is used to request detailed information,
overriding the default which is to provide summary information only.
query_partner_lu_definition, list_options=DETAIL, plu_alias=PTNR01
query_partner_lu, list_options=DETAIL, lu_name=LUNAME1, plu_alias=PTNR01
query_session, num_entries=0, list_options=DETAIL+FIRST_IN_LIST, lu_name=LUNAME1, plu_alias=PTNR01
