Plan your network before you begin
NMMGR. Use the worksheets provided in Chapter 4 “Planning for Node Configuration” to record all the items NMMGR requires.
(See Chapter 2 “Networking Concepts” for information
on networking concepts.)
Configure the transport and link by using NMMGR
to modify the NMCONFIG.PUB.SYS
file. The instructions for this step are contained in this manual.
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 “Configuring the Network Directory” for information on configuring the network
directory.
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 “Validating Network Transport and
Cross-Validating with SYSGEN”
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 “Validating Network Transport and
Cross-Validating with SYSGEN”
Start the network (links and services) using the
NETCONTROL and NSCONTROL commands.
See Chapter 14 “Operating the Network” for information
on starting links and services.
Verify the configuration and network connectivity
by running the QVALNS program.
See Chapter 14 “Operating the Network” for information
on running QVALNS.
