In order to test that you have successfully configured and brought up your NS
node, HP provides an NS validation test called QVALNS.NET.SYS.
QVALNS is a program which modifies a file called TQVALNS and
streams it as a temporary job (JQVALNS). The job purges and creates
various files, and then runs a program called NSTEST. NSTEST
tests the network services (VT, RFA, RDBA, and NFT).
To run the NS validation test, follow the step below:
Run the NS validation test on your own node. This tests the
software loopback capability. Issue the following command, where
node is the node portion of your own node name:
RUN QVALNS.NET.SYS;INFO=node
Run the NS validation test on another system on the same network.
Select a remote node on the network and make sure that the link and
the network services are up on the remote system by issuing the
following commands on that node (NM capability required):
NETCONTROL STATUS
NSCONTROL STATUS
If the link or network services have not been started, either pick
another node or start them.
Note the node name of the remote node (given in the last line of
output from the NETCONTROL STATUS command). If you followed
the configuration steps in this manual, the second and third portions
of the node name (the domain and organization) should be the same as
the second and third portions of the local node.
Run the NS validation test across the link by issuing the
following command at the local node, where node is the node
portion of the remote node name:
RUN QVALNS.NET.SYS;INFO=node
If you encounter problems, see the NS 3000/iX Operations and Maintenance
Reference Manual and to the NS 3000/iX Error Messages Reference
Manual for information on diagnostics and troubleshooting.
