This section covers remote system configuration requirements for the following MPE/V SNA products:

  • SNA Link

  • SNA IMF

  • SNA NRJE

  • LU 6.2 Base

  • LU 6.2 API

This section presents the requirements for ACF/NCP and ACF/VTAM for switched and non-switched lines and logmode table parameters.

ACF/NCP and ACF/VTAM Requirements

The ACF/VTAM start parameters refer to the table and buffer size definitions that ACF/VTAM uses to configure the resource requirements for the network. Because start parameters apply to the entire VTAM domain and are not specific to the remote node, HP does not make any suggestions. HP does recommend that the ACF/VTAM system programmer review the defined values and make any adjustments for additional requirements put on the system.

The tables in this section contain the parameters that HP allows for its MPE/V SNA products. Operands and values that you must specify are noted. The tables also contain other operands that are allowed. For operand definitions, refer to the section Parameter Descriptions at the end of this chapter, or to the appropriate NCP or VTAM manual for the remote system.

WARNING! The HP SNA products are emulations of IBM products. Thus, some parameters will need particular values based on the requirements of the HP products. Code these as specified or results are unpredictable. Operands not listed are not allowed in the HP SNA services definitions and therefore are not supported. Any time spent solving problems related to incorrect configuration of the host is billable to the customer on a time and materials basis.

For MPE/V SNA products, more than one PU (Physical Unit) may be defined for an HP 3000 node. A maximum of eight PUs can be defined for each HP 3000 node. The number of PUs defined depends upon the number of SNA Link products installed.

A maximum of 64 LUs (Logical Units) can be configured for each HP 3000 PU. For SNA NRJE/V, it is recommended that at least three LUs be defined. SNA IMF can support a maximum of 64 LUs. The LU 6.2 products can start a maximum of eight LUs. See the MPE/V SNA product documentation for more information on configuration requirements.

Switched Lines

Tables 1-1 and 1-2 define the parameters necessary to connect MPE/V SNA products to a switched line. Any values listed that are not required are given as examples. See Parameter Descriptions at the end of this chapter or refer to the appropriate NCP or VTAM manual for the remote system for more information.

Logmode Table Requirements

The Logmode table definitions determine the operating characteristics of the session with a host LU—the bind parameters. The tables in this section define the Logmode table parameters necessary for MPE/V SNA products.

Tables 1-4, 1-5, and 1-6 contain Logmode table parameters required for SNA NRJE/V for the JES2, JES3, and POWER job entry subsystems. Table 1-7 contains the Logmode table parameters required for SNA IMF/V. Table 1-8 contains the Logmode table parameters required for the LU 6.2 products, LU 6.2 Base/V and LU 6.2 API/V.
