MPE/iX, Multiprogramming Executive with Integrated POSIX, is the latest in a series of forward-compatible operating systems for the HP 3000 line of computers.

In HP documentation and in talking with HP e3000 users, you will encounter references to MPE XL, the direct predecessor of MPE/iX. MPE/iX is a superset of MPE XL. All programs written for MPE XL will run without change under MPE/iX. You can continue to use MPE XL system documentation, although it may not refer to features added to the operating system to support POSIX (for example, hierarchical directories).

Chapter 1 "Introduction" provides a brief description of each of the NMS utilities.

Chapter 2 "Basics of NMMGR" describes the basic functions of the Node Management Configuration Manager (NMMGR) in detail. Use this chapter to gain an understanding of how NMMGR works and how to navigate through NMMGR screens.

Chapter 3 "Using NMMGR in Screen Mode" tells you how to use NMMGR's screen mode interface to begin the configuration process for your system's terminal connections or networking products. It includes step-by-step instructions for getting started in NMMGR and for navigating the top-level screens.

Chapter 4 "Using NMMGR Utility Screens" describes how to use the NMMGR utility screens to list, maintain, and validate configuration files.

Chapter 5 "Using NMMGR in Maintenance Mode" tells you how to use NMMGR's maintenance mode interface to manage network directory and configuration files and to generate stream jobs to update remote network directory and configuration files. Each command is described along with its purpose, syntax, parameters, and an example.

Chapter 6 "NMMAINT" describes the Node Management Services Maintenance Utility (NMMAINT), used to display version numbers for software modules.

Chapter 7 "NMDUMP" describes the Node Management Services Trace/Log File Analyzer, which provides a means of decoding and formatting logging records and trace messages. Information on running NMDUMP is included.

Chapter 8 "NMMGRVER" describes the Node Management Services Conversion Utility (NMMGRVER), which enables earlier versions of subsystems to be used with the current version of NMMGR.

Appendix A "NMS Error Messages" provides a listing of error messages that may be returned while running NMMGR. Each message includes probable causes and actions.
