To Use NSLOGON
The NSLOGON tool allows you quickly verify that the network transport
is operating correctly. It uses the NetIPC intrinsics to establish a
connection to a well-known server on a remote node.Therefore, both the
network transport and the Network Services must be started on all
nodes before you use this tool. You can choose whether to contact all
nodes or selected nodes by responding to the NSLOGON prompts. To use
this tool, perform the following steps.
1. Run NETTOOL by entering the program name at the MPE prompt:
NETTOOL.NET.SYS
The root menu will appear.
2. Select the NSLOGON tool from the main menu.
3. You will be prompted to specify whether or not you want to logon to
all nodes in the directory. Answer yes (or press
[RETURN]) to logon to
all nodes, otherwise answer no.
4. Respond to additional prompts as required.
5. NSLOGON will produce a list of node names along with an indication
of whether or not the logon to each node was successful.
To Use PING
The PING tool allows you to test remote connections by sending
messages to one or more remote nodes and examining their response.
To use this tool, perform the following steps.
1. Run NETTOOL by entering the program name at the MPE prompt:
NETTOOL.NET.SYS
The root menu will appear.
2. Select the PING tool from the main menu by entering the PING
