Configuring Systems for Terminals, Printers, and Other Serial Devices (32022-90051)

Appendix B 211
Migrating From Previous Releases
B Migrating From Previous Releases
This appendix describes the steps for migrating network configuration
files to the current MPE/iX release from previous MPE/iX or MPE V
releases.
A utility called NMMGRVER.PUB.SYS is provided to automatically
convert your old network configuration file to the current release
format.
NOTE Customers who do not have an existing network configuration file,
NMCONFIG.PUB.SYS, do not need to run NMMGRVER. Instead, they need
to create a network configuration file from scratch. To do so, copy the
template file NMSAMP1.PUB.SYS to NMCONFIG and then modify this
network configuration file in NMMGR. These steps are covered in
Chapter 5, “Configuring Serial Devices (for Host-Based Management).”
If NMMGR is run on an unconverted, existing network configuration
file, an error message will appear when entering the DTS subsystem
indicating that a version mismatch was found and that NMMGRVER must
be run to convert the file.
MPE/iX customers with an older version of NMCONFIG.PUB.SYS need
to run NMMGRVER to convert their network configuration files to the
current MPE/iX format. You need to migrate to the current version
before adding a DTC 72MX to you network configuration.
MPE V customers with an older version of NMCONFIG.PUB.SYS also
need to run NMMGRVER to convert their network configuration file to the
current MPE/iX format. NMCONFIG.PUB.SYS files from MPE V do not
have the DTS subsystem, so NMMGRVER will create a default DTS
subsystem for the new configuration file—with one default
configuration for a DTC 48 and one default configuration for a
DTC 72MX. Modify this network configuration file in NMMGR to fit
your actual DTS and DTC configuration. These steps are covered in
Chapter 5, “Configuring Serial Devices (for Host-Based Management).”
