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

12
Special Note
MPE/iX, Multiprogramming Executive with Integrated POSIX, is the
latest in a series of forward-compatible operating systems for the
HP 3000 line of computers.
In HP documentation and in talking with HP e3000 users, you will
encounter references to MPE XL, the direct predecessor of MPE/iX.
MPE/iX is a superset of MPE XL. All programs written for MPE XL will
run without change under MPE/iX. You can continue to use MPE XL
system documentation, although it may not refer to features added to
the operating system to support POSIX (for example, hierarchical
directories).
Chapter 1 , “Introduction,” provides a brief description of each of the
NMS utilities.
Chapter 2 , “Basics of NMMGR,” describes the basic functions of the
Node Management Configuration Manager (NMMGR) in detail. Use
this chapter to gain an understanding of how NMMGR works and how
to navigate through NMMGR screens.
Chapter 3 , “Using NMMGR in Screen Mode,” tells you how to use
NMMGR’s screen mode interface to begin the configuration process for
your system’s terminal connections or networking products. It includes
step-by-step instructions for getting started in NMMGR and for
navigating the top-level screens.
Chapter 4 , “Using NMMGR Utility Screens,” describes how to use the
NMMGR utility screens to list, maintain, and validate configuration
files.
Chapter 5 , “Using NMMGR in Maintenance Mode,” tells you how to
use NMMGR’s maintenance mode interface to manage network
directory and configuration files and to generate stream jobs to update
remote network directory and configuration files. Each command is
described along with its purpose, syntax, parameters, and an example.
Chapter 6 , “NMMAINT,” describes the Node Management Services
Maintenance Utility (NMMAINT), used to display version numbers for
software modules.
Chapter 7 , “NMDUMP,” describes the Node Management Services
Trace/Log File Analyzer, which provides a means of decoding and
formatting logging records and trace messages. Information on running
NMDUMP is included.
Chapter 8 , “NMMGRVER,” describes the Node Management Services
Conversion Utility (NMMGRVER), which enables earlier versions of
subsystems to be used with the current version of NMMGR.
Appendix A , “NMS Error Messages,” provides a listing of error
messages that may be returned while running NMMGR. Each message
includes probable causes and actions.
