Using the Node Management Services (NMS) Utilities (MPE/iX 7.0, 7.5)

1 Introduction

This chapter introduces you to the Node Management Services Utilities

for MPE/iX systems. These programs, installed on your HP e3000

system as part of the fundamental operating system (FOS), allow

you to perform various functions related to the conﬁguration of

networking and terminal communications.

A brief overview of each of the following is provided in this chapter:

• The Node Management Conﬁguration Manager (NMMGR), used to

create or modify conﬁguration and network directory ﬁles for a

system.

• NMMAINT, used to list individual modules and version numbers of

networking software

• NMDUMP, used to format log and trace ﬁles.

• NMMGRVER, used to upgrade a conﬁguration ﬁle for use with a

later version of the operating system.

• NMMGRVAL, used to check if the conﬁguration ﬁle has been

validated.
