To use the NMMGRVER utility to convert your NS 3000/V configuration file to NS
3000/iX release 2.0 or later, proceed as follows:
At the MPE/iX prompt, type: NMMGRVER.PUB.SYS and answer
the questions.
Do either steps a through c or steps d through g.
If your NS 3000/V node had only an NMCONFIG file (but no
NSCONF files), follow the instructions in steps a through c.
To convert the NMCONFIG file enter the file name:
NMCONFIG.PUB.SYS.
Enter Y to proceed when prompted.
Select type 2 for NMCONFIG type file. The
converted file will be saved with the file name you entered. In
this case it is NMCONFIG.PUB.SYS. This is the only
filename that the node will recognize as its configuration file.
If your NS 3000/V node had one or more NSCONF files,
follow the instructions in steps d through g.
Merge your NS 3000/V NSCONF file with the NS 3000/V
NMCONFIG file, and convert it for use with NS 3000/iX
release 2.0 or later by entering a file name, for example:
NSCONF1.PUB.SYS.
Enter Y to proceed when prompted.
Select type 1 for NSCONF type file. NMMGRVER
will merge the contents of the existing NMCONFIG file
with the NSCONF file you specified. It will be saved in
the NSCONF file you specified. In this example,
NSCONF1.
If you converted more than one NSCONF file, decide
which one will be the network configuration you want on the NS
3000/iX system. Rename the file to
NMCONFIG.PUB.SYS.
Updating X.25 XL System Access Parameters
On the NS 3000/iX host, use NMMGR to change the following parameters to provide
X.25 XL System Access:
If migrating from any NS 3000/V release before release V delta 7,
modify the screen at path
@NETXPORT.NI.niname.PROTOCOL.X25 to change the
inactivity timer from minutes to seconds.
On the screen with the path @LINK, verify that the
DTSLINK is defined.
On the screen with the path @LINK.DTSLINK, verify that
the physical path is correctly defined.
On the screen with the path @LINK, add the LINK name and
Type (X25) of the X25 link. Note: to migrate to NS 3000/iX release
2.2 or later, repeat this step and steps 5 through 7 for each
DTC/X.25 Network Access card.
On the screen with the path @LINK.linkname, where
the LINK name is the one added in the previous step, add the DTC Node
name and card number for the DTC/X.25 Network Access card.
On the screen with the path
@NETXPORT.NI.niname.LINK, add the LINK name entered
in Step 4.
On the screen with the path
@NETXPORT.NI.niname.LINK.linkname, answer yes
or no to start device on network initalization (default is yes) then,
press the Update key.
Saving X.25 XL System Access Parameters
Make a list of the following X.25 XL System Access Parameters on the host that
must be re-entered under OpenView DTC Manager.
Local Node Name.
Link Name (the X25 link, not the DTSLINK).
DTC Node Name.
DTC Card Number.
X.25 User Facility Set Parameters.
SVC and/or PVC numbers for each reachable node.
Adding Other Link Types
For LAN and Point-to-Point link types, run NMMGR and see other sections of this
manual for the correct values to be entered.
Verifying DTS Configuration
If the datacommunications and terminal subsystem (DTS) has
not been configured, configure the DTS parameters on the host according
to the requirements of your network. For more information, refer
to Getting Started with the DTC and Configuring
Systems for Terminals, Printers, and Other Serial Devices if
you are using PC-based network management. Refer to Configuring
and Managing Host-Based X.25 Links if you are using
host-based network management.
