B.2.3 Subrecord Format

Some conﬁguration records include data whose format can vary between instances of that record type. For example,

the [define_cos] record includes a variable number of node rows and TG rows. To handle this variability,

the variable data is speciﬁed in optional subrecords. This means that a record consists of a series of parameters

common to all instances of that record type, followed by subrecords containing the variable data.

A record that contains one or more subrecords is deﬁned as follows:

[command_name]

parameter_name = value

{subrecord_name}

parameter_name = value

{subrecord_name}

parameter_name = value

The subrecord_name must be enclosed in braces. It is followed by a series of parameter entries associated with this

subrecord, each on a separate line.

All the parameters associated with the command_name (and not with a subrecord) must be listed after the

command_name and before the ﬁrst subrecord_name; all the parameters associated with a particular subrecord_name

must be listed after that subrecord_name and before the next subrecord_name, if any, or the next command_name.

However, the order of individual parameters within a subrecord is not important. For more information, see Section

1.1.2, Parameter Syntax Used for Administration Commands.

B.3 Changes Made to the Conﬁguration Files by the Motif

Administration Program

When you use the Motif administration program to conﬁgure parameters, the Motif program updates the node and

domain conﬁguration ﬁles. The entries in the conﬁguration ﬁle may differ from what you entered on the Motif

screens in the following ways:

• If you enter a name on a Motif screen using fewer characters (or fewer hexadecimal bytes) than allowed for that

name, SNAplus2 pads the name with blank characters (or expands the hexadecimal value) to make the length

equal to the maximum length allowed (or full hexadecimal width) for that name. For example, if you enter

Node1 for the node_name parameter (which allows 128 characters) when you are deﬁning a node, SNAplus2
