Introduction to the NOF API
NOF Verbs to Manage Specific SNAplus2 Functions
Chapter 180
The verbs relating to client-server tracing can be issued on HP-UX client
computers as well as on a server. For more information,see
“SET_CS_TRACE”, “QUERY_CS_TRACE”, “SET_TRACE_FILE”, and
“QUERY_TRACE_FILE”.
Managing Directory Entries
If the local node is a LEN node, you need to set up entries in the local
node's directory to identify the adjacent nodes that SNAplus2 will
communicate with and the LUs associated with these nodes. If a
particular node contains a range of LUs with similar names, you can set
up wildcard entries in the directory to indicate that all LUs in the range
are on the specified node.
To define a node and the LUs associated with it, use the following verb:
• DEFINE_ADJACENT_LEN_NODE
To obtain information about a specific node or LU entry in the database
(however, this verb cannot be used to return information about wildcard
entries), use the following verb:
• QUERY_DIRECTORY_ENTRY
To obtain information about a specific LU entry or wildcard entry in the
database, use the following verb:
• QUERY_DIRECTORY_LU
To obtain statistical information about directory entries, use the
following verb:
• QUERY_DIRECTORY_STATS
To delete a node and the LUs associated with it or to delete LUs from a
node entry, use the following verb:
• DELETE_ADJACENT_LEN_NODE
If the local node is an end node communicating with a LEN node, you
need to set up directory entries for the LEN node and its LUs, using the
verbs described above. For communicationswith other node types, you do
not need to set up directory entries because the node will locate these
resources dynamically as required (and add them to the directory so that
they can be used again).
