The Open Configuration/Directory file screen (#1) in Figure 11-2 “Open Configuration/Directory File” is the first screen displayed
when you run NMMGR. Figure 11-2 Open Configuration/Directory File

Verify that the correct network directory
file name is in the Network directory file name
field. If you have assigned a write access password, enter
it in this field. If you are not using the password feature, leave
this field blank. Press the [Open Directry] key. If you
are creating the file for the first time, NMMGR will ask you to
verify creation. Press the [Open Directry] key
again to continue.
Fields- Configuration file name
The only configuration file name the system recognizes
for use by the network subsystem is NMCONFIG.PUB.SYS.
You can, however, create or modify a configuration file using a
different name and save it as an offline configuration
file. You can use offline configuration files as a means
of creating and storing configurations that you want to use in the
future or that you are preparing for use on a different system.
When you are ready to use an offline configuration file, rename
it as NMCONFIG.PUB.SYS and reboot
the system. (Keep in mind that any file you use as a configuration
file must be successfully validated before you try to use it.) - Backup configurationfile name
A backup file name must be specified whenever a
configuration file is opened or created. The default backup configuration
file name is NMCBACK.group.account.
The backup file will be automatically updated with the contents
of the configuration file each time the configuration file is successfully
validated. - Network directory file name
The only network directory file name supported by
HP is NSDIR.NET.SYS. This file
is part of a KSAM pair. A key file is created at the same time as
this data file. The key file will automatically be named using the
first six letters of the network directory file name, appended with
the character K. For example, NSDIRK.NET.SYS
is the name of the key file associated with the data file NSDIR.NET.SYS.
If the name of the data file is less than six letters long, then
the entire file name would be appended with a K. - Write access password
The password is an optional feature. If a password
has been assigned, you must enter it in the password field to update
the configuration file or the directory file. It is still possible
to open an existing file without using an assigned password, but
the file will be in read only mode and no changes will be accepted. If a password has not been assigned, you should ignore the
password field. If you want to assign a password for the system you are configuring,
see Using the Node Management Services (NMS) Utilities.
