Establishing LU-SSCP Sessions on the HP e3000
Establishing LU-SSCP Sessions on the
HP e3000
For a dependent LU on the HP e3000 to communicate with another
dependent LU, it must first have a session with the SSCP on the host
system. Each LU-SSCP session is managed by SNA Transport. Figure
4-2, “LU-SSCP Session Establishment,” shows LU-SSCP session
establishment with SNA Transport acting as the LU service manager.
The SSCP checks the configuration on the host for the LUs defined for
the HP e3000 node. The SSCP will attempt to activate each defined LU
by sending an ACTivate LU (ACTLU) request. (An independent LU
does not need a corresponding LU-SSCP session to help in establishing
an LU-LU session, so the sequence below does not apply for an
independent LU.)
Figure 4-2 LU-SSCP Session Establishment
Once an LU-SSCP session is established, a dependent LU-LU session
can be initiated. The “Startup and Shutdown” chapter in the Node
Manager’s Guide for each SNA service contains an explanation of how
LU-LU sessions are established and terminated for that service.
