Verifying Software Versions

Each data communications product consists of a variety of software modules. Each module has an individual version number.

The software modules of all Hewlett-Packard data communications products use a standard version stamp, with the following format:

A subsystem is a grouping of software modules. The software modules within each subsystem usually have a common or similar function. NS 3000/iX is grouped into the following subsystems:

The vuuff version stamp fields of the software modules must be the same for all configured software, but the internal fix iii fields may differ.

Verify Version of Data Communications Software

Use the NMMAINT utility to display the individual and overall version numbers for all software modules of NS 3000/iX, SNA IMF, and SNA NRJE Network Services, as well as the SNA and NS 3000/iX network link products.

1. Enter the command:

   RUN NMMAINT.PUB.SYS

2. If the version, update, and fix levels of these modules do not match, the subsystem will not work correctly. Include the information provided by NMMAINT in any change request (CR) you submit to Hewlett-Packard. See Appendix B “Submitting an CR” for information about submitting CRs.

Verify Version of Network Transport Software

To display the version numbers of all of the software modules for the network transport, use the MOD option of the NETCONTROL VERSION command as shown below:

NETCONTROL VERSION=MOD

Verify Version of Network Services Software

To display the version numbers of all of the software modules for the Network Services, use the MOD option of the NSCONTROL VERSION command as shown:

NSCONTROL VERSION=MOD
