Appendix B  Migrating From Previous Releases 

This appendix describes the steps for migrating network configuration
files to the current MPE/iX release from previous MPE/iX or MPE V
releases.

A utility called NMMGRVER.PUB.SYS is provided to automatically convert
your old network configuration file to the current release format.


NOTE  Customers who do not have an existing network configuration file,
      NMCONFIG.PUB.SYS, do not need to run NMMGRVER. Instead, they need
      to create a network configuration file from scratch.  To do so,
      copy the template file NMSAMP1.PUB.SYS to NMCONFIG and then modify
      this network configuration file in NMMGR. These steps are covered
      in chapter 5, "Configuring Serial Devices (for Host-Based
      Management)."

      If NMMGR is run on an unconverted, existing network configuration
      file, an error message will appear when entering the DTS subsystem
      indicating that a version mismatch was found and that NMMGRVER must
      be run to convert the file.


MPE/iX customers with an older version of NMCONFIG.PUB.SYS need to run
NMMGRVER to convert their network configuration files to the current
MPE/iX format.  You need to migrate to the current version before adding
a DTC 72MX to you network configuration.

MPE V customers with an older version of NMCONFIG.PUB.SYS also need to
run NMMGRVER to convert their network configuration file to the current
MPE/iX format.  NMCONFIG.PUB.SYS files from MPE V do not have the DTS
subsystem, so NMMGRVER will create a default DTS subsystem for the new
configuration file--with one default configuration for a DTC 48 and one
default configuration for a DTC 72MX. Modify this network configuration
file in NMMGR to fit your actual DTS and DTC configuration.  These steps
are covered in chapter 5, "Configuring Serial Devices (for Host-Based
Management)."
