One of the system manager's jobs is to configure terminals, printers, the local area network (LAN) and all Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) units that are not hard-wired on your system. To do so, you use the node management services network manager program, or NMMGR.

After you are finished running NMMGR and have validated the configuration file you created, you must cross-validate it with the configuration file you created with SYSGEN. Cross-validation ensures that there are no conflicts between the network configuration file (NMCONFIG.PUB.SYS) and the system configuration file generated with SYSGEN.

To use NMMGR to cross-validate the network management configuration file and the system configuration file, do the following:

  1. Create the network configuration file NMCONFIG.PUB.SYS.

  2. Log into the SYS account and run NMMGR.PUB.SYS.

  3. Enter any required identification information and define your network configuration.

  4. At the command prompt at the top of the NMMGR screen, enter:

       command:?>validate
    
  5. At the Validate screen, press the {{Validate DTS/Link}} softkey.

    NMMGR prints the total number of errors found and any error messages. Once validation is complete, it starts SYSGEN for you and automatically begins cross-validating the configuration files. You'll see this message:

    Starting cross validation with SYSGEN

    NMMGR automatically keeps the configuration information to the group CONFIG.SYS and exits SYSGEN.

  6. After validation and cross-validation are successfully complete, exit NMMGR.

NOTE: For complete information about using NMMGR to configure your system, Refer to Configuring Systems for Terminals, Printers, and Other Serial Devices (32022-90001).
