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, or if using DNS for nodename
resolution.
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 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 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 NS services configuration and confirm network
connectivity by running the QVALNS program. See
Chapter 14 "Operating the Network" for
information on running QVALNS.
