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.
