6.1 Configuring Datacomm and UPS
6.1 Configuring Datacomm and UPS
No matter what your network configuration is, or even if you have no networked devices,
you still must perform the activities described in this section if it is on your checklist.
You must convert the data communications configuration files after modifying a system
(regardless of whether you use data communications products). The information contained
in the data communication files is required by the Data communication Terminal
Controller (DTC) and allows communication between the system and the Uninterruptible
Power Supply (UPS). Refer to Using the Node Management Services Utilities.
To configure for data communications on a new or modified system, perform these
procedures as explained on the following pages:
• Get an NMCONFIG file. Perform either of the following:
— Update an existing NMCONFIG file converting the file to the MPE 6.5 version level.
— Create an NMCONFIG file using NMMGR.
• Configure the HP Power/Trusts (UPS units), if you have any.
• Modify the configuration file and cross validate the NMCONFIG file, if needed.
• Restart data communications.
Converting Datacomm
To update/convert the NMCONFIG file:
1. Log on and determine if the file is on your system.
:HELLO MANAGER.SYS;HIPRI
:LISTF NMCONFIG.PUB.SYS
a. If listed, proceed to Step 3.
b. If the return message is non-existent file, obtain an NMCONFIG file from one of
the following sources:
• Create a new NMCONFIG file using NMMGR.
Refer to Using the Node Management Services (NMS) Utilities for directions on
creating an NMCONFIG file.
If you are installing a UPS on a new system, or a new HP Power/Trust UPS
device, proceed to Step 5.
If you are not installing a UPS on a new system, or a new HP Power/Trust UPS
device, proceed to Step 6.
• Use a backup copy of the NMCONFIG file.
Use the same method to recover the NMCONFIG file from the backup, that was used
to create the backup.
Proceed to Step 3.
