FILESET TO BE SCANNED? NMCONFIG.PUB.SYS
OK TO CONVERT NMCONFIG? Y
• If the return message is no
need to convert, proceed to “Restart System Functions.”
• If the return message is conversion completed successfully, then AUTOINST has converted your
configuration file and it needs to be cross validated with sysgen information. Proceed to “Cross
Validate.”
Cross Validate
Perform the steps in this section if you did either of the following:
• Completed the previous section, “Convert Data Communications,” and your files were converted.
• Created a new NMCONFIG file using nmmgr.
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:
1. Run NMMGR.PUB.SYS
:NMMGR
2. Open the configuration file using the
[F1]
key.
3. 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 or change a UPS configuration.
If you copied and updated your NMCONFIG file from another system, you must update the node name,
network addresses and other devices for this system.
a. If you have a PC-based network management configuration, follow the installation and configuration
procedures described 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.
4. Display the Validate screen and validate the DTSLINK, NS links, and any other configurations you have
changed.
The specific method you use to view the Validate screen varies depending upon the procedures you used to
modify the configuration file. Refer to the Using the Node Management Services (NM S) Utilities manual
for more complete instructions.
NMMGR automatically invokes SYSGEN to cross validate the system and datacomm configurations.
If inconsistencies occur during the validation process (such as two separate devices configured to the
same LDEV), do either of the following depending upon the type of error:
• Resolve them using NMMGR (if related to networking).
•Exit NMMGR and resolve inconsistencies using SYSGEN. Then re-run NMMGR and revalidate DTSLINK.
