Running NMMGRVER

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)”
