Running NMMGRVER to Update Release Version
To run NMMGRVER, logon as MANAGER.SYS in the PUB group and run the utility by
entering NMMGRVER after the MPE/iX prompt. NMMGRVER will prompt you for the
configuration file name. Enter NMCONFIG, and Y to the confirmation prompt.
The steps to run NMMGRVER are shown here:

Backup file is NMBACKn; temporary file is Nxxxx.
** Converting MPE iX config file **
The configuration for the DTS subsystem has been updated. If this file will be used as
NMCONFIG.PUB.SYS, you must restart the DTS subsystem for the configuration to take effect.

CONVERSION completed successfully. (NMMGRVERMSG 0)
NMMGRVER generates a backup copy of you old configuration file under file name NMBACKn,
(where n starts with A, then B, C, and so on, for multiple backup copies). It also creates a
temporary file Nxxxx, that is purged upon completion of NMMGRVER conversion.
After converting the network configuration file with NMMGRVER, you then run NMMGR if
needed to modify the DTS subsystem to fit your actual hardware configuration. Follow
the steps described in Chapter 5, “Configuring Serial Devices (for Host-Based
Management),” for modifying you network configuration file.
NOTE After converting your network configuration file with NMMGRVER, you must validate and
cross-validate the configuration file. You must also perform a DTS shutdown and restart
to cause the DTS subsystem to use the updated configuration file. Refer to Chapter 5,
“Configuring Serial Devices (for Host-Based Management),” for details to shutdown and
restart DTS.
