Samba for MPE/iX Services

Starting and Stopping Samba for MPE/iX

This section covers the steps to start or stop Samba for MPE/iX.

Starting Samba for MPE/iX

Before you start to run Samba for MPE/iX server or client components,

you should have set up the TCP/IP networking on your HP e3000

system as well as your PC. On the HP e3000 system, you should have a

proper IP address and subnet mask conﬁgured in NMMGR as well as

NETCONTROL START successfully executed. You must choose to start

SMBD and NMBD either as listener jobs or under control of INETD.

Disable Resource Sharing

If your system has NBDAEMON.PUB.HPLANMGR running, then SMBD and

NMBD will not be able to use ports 137 and 139 as NBDAEMON

already binds to them. The workaround solution is to stop the

PDSERVER process. The NBMON and NBDAEMON processes will not

start because of this workaround. This can be done by modifying the ﬁle

PDSSERV.NET.SYS by changing the line 7 from 1 to 0. This will set up

PDSSERVE for non-reserved servers.

The following shows the steps of making non-reserved servers:

1. Modify the ﬁle PDSSERV.NET.SYS and change the line 7 from 1 to 0.

2. Shutdown the network.

3. Stream JCONFJOB.NET.SYS.

4. Start the network backup.

5. The command nscontrol status=services should show

non-reserved PDSERVERs.

Verify Link Conﬁguration

The default assumes that LAN link conﬁguration in NMMGR is

SYSLINK. You need to run the following command to get the IP address

and subnet mask of your HP e3000 system; you will need this

information for future Samba for MPE/iX conﬁguration ﬁle updates

with the “interfaces” parameter.

1. Logon as manager.sys

2. Enter the command Netcontrol status; net=LAN1
