Configuration Process Overview
The instructions in this guide explain how to configure each node on your
network by using a "guided" branch of Hewlett-Packard's
NMMGR configuration program. The principal steps in this process are as
follows:
1. Plan your network before you begin NMMGR. Use the worksheets
provided in chapters 3 and 4 to record all the items NMMGR
requires. (See chapter 2 for information on networking concepts.)
2. Configure the transport and link by using NMMGR to modify the
NMCONFIG.PUB.SYS file. The instructions for this step are
contained in chapters 5 through 9.
3. If the node being configured is part of an internet or is on a
network with non-HP nodes, add the path of the new node to its
network directory file. See chapter 11 for information on
configuring the network directory.
4. Validate the network transport. This step checks data consistency
between values entered on different NMMGR data entry screens.
Instructions for validating the network transport are located in
chapter 10.
5. Cross-validate NMCONFIG.PUB.SYS with the system configuration
files within SYSGEN. Cross-validation ensures that there are no
conflicts in the use of node names, device classes, and physical
paths. Even if validation and cross-validation were already done
after configuring DTS, you still have to validate and
cross-validate again after you configure the network transport and
link. Instructions for cross-validating are located in chapter
10.
6. Start the network (links and services) using the NETCONTROL and
NSCONTROL commands. See chapter 14 for information on starting
links and services.
7. Verify the configuration and network connectivity by running the
QVALNS program. See chapter 14 for information on running QVALNS.
