Running NMMGRVER from NMMGR
The New Host-Based Management release provides two ways to launch NMMGRVER from
within NMMGR.
• When the New Host-Based Management is first installed and the NMCONFIG file
needs to be updated.
• To launch the Host Migration tool to merge the PC-based DTC configurations into
the Host-based configuration.
These two methods allow you to upgrade your configuration to the latest release and to
migrate the DTC configured in the PC based configuration to Host-Based Management
with the minimum of interruptions in your system operations.

Within the New Host-Based Management release, NMMGR and the DTS subsystem utilize
updated structures in the NMCONFIG file to manage the new Host-based functions. When
the system is rebooted after the release is installed, the NMCONFIG file is still the old
format. To allow the system to startup without error, the DTS subsystem will recognize
that the NMCONFIG file is the previous release and successfully startup the DTS
subsystem. You will see the following message indicating this:
DCC WARNING 15-22, NMCONFIG is previous version, Run NMMGRVER (DCCWARN=52)
If you run NMMGR but have not yet run NMMGRVER, you will see the following screen if
you press the [DTS] key at the NMMGR Main screen. This screen indicates that the
NMCONFIG file is still the old format and NMMGR can not make changes to the DTS
