Finishing the Process
6.1 Configuring Datacomm and UPS

6. If your files were not converted, you did not copy or create a new NMCONFIG file, and you are not changing
your configuration file, proceed to Step 14.
If the SYSGEN command RDCC was used previously, the network configuration file that was specified in
that command is written to the CSLT that AUTOINST created. If this CSLT is used as a backup tape for a
reinstallation, then the datacomm configuration file that will be restored will require conversion using
the NMMGRVER.PUB.SYS utility after the installation.
To validate data communication files:
7. Run NMMGR
:NMMGR.PUB.SYS
8. Open the configuration file using the [F1] key.
9. Modify the configuration file, if required.
If you need to add, delete, or change any item in the configuration file, do so now. For example, now is the
time to add a DTC.
If you copied and updated your NMCONFIG file from another system, you must update the network
addresses and other devices for this system.
a. If you have a PC-based network management configuration, follow the installation and configuration
procedures in the Using the OpenView DTC Manager Manual.
b. For information on NMMGR, refer to Using the Node Management Services (NMS) Utilities.
c. For information on configuring UPS devices, refer to Performing System Management Tasks.
d. If you need to configure new DTCs on your system, or if you need more information on host-based
network management, refer to Configuring Systems for Terminals, Printers, and Other Serial Devices.
10. Display the Validate screen:
• From the Main screen, press
[F5]
Utility.
• Press
[F3]
Go to Validate.
• Validate NETXPORT, validate DTS/LINK, and any installed subsystems. Refer to Using the Node
Management Services (NMS) Utilities for more complete instructions.
When DTS/LINK is validated, NMMGR automatically invokes SYSGEN to cross-validate the system and
datacomm configurations. You have the option to customize the cross-validation steps by modifying the
commands in the file NMGRXVAL.PUB.SYS. Comment information is contained in braces, {}. Refer to
Performing System Management Tasks and Manager's Guide to MPE/iX Security.
If inconsistencies are found during the validation or cross-validation process (such as two separate
devices configured to the same LDEV), you need to do either of the following depending on the type of
error:
• Resolve them by modifying the NMCONFIG file with NMMGR (if related to networking).
•Exit NMMGR, resolve inconsistencies using SYSGEN, then run NMMGR again to revalidate DTS/LINK.
When cross-validation is complete, you may see this message:
Do you want DTS changes to become active now (Y/N)? N
Answer N at the prompt, and press [Return]. Press [Return] again to view the Validate screen.
11. Exit NMMGR.
12. Shutdown the Datacommunication and Terminal Subsystem (DTS).
