Hardware Requirements

Host hardware requirements for SNA NRJE are as follows:

  • An IBM System/370-compatible mainframe, such as the Model 370, 43xx, or 303x.

  • An IBM 37xx-compatible communications controller that supports an SNA line. An HP 3000 can also be connected to the communications controller via an IBM 3710 network controller.

Software Requirements

Host software requirements for SNA NRJE are as follows:

  • MVS/SP or MVS/XA operating system with JES2 or JES3 job entry subsystem

    or

  • VSE operating system with VSE/POWER

    and both

  • ACF/VTAM telecommunications access method

  • ACF/NCP network control program.

CAUTION: Hewlett-Packard has not verified the NRJE product with all possible combinations of host system software releases. We are continually certifying with new host system software releases. Check with your Hewlett-Packard representative for the most up-to-date list.

Hewlett-Packard does not require that the customer run on one of the verified versions. However, not doing so applies limits to Hewlett-Packard's liability in addition to the normal limits. Because of the certification problems imposed by the host system versions, Hewlett-Packard must restrict its support policy in the following ways. The resolution of all problems will fall into one of the categories listed below:

If a problem is caused by incorrect operation of the Hewlett-Packard product, Hewlett-Packard will repair the product.

If a problem is caused by incorrect operation at the host,

(a) Hewlett-Packard may require that the user change to a known working version of the software;

(b) Hewlett-Packard may elect to change the Hewlett-Packard product to conform to the situation.

As always, Hewlett-Packard will in good faith attempt to solve the problem with the customer.
