The Open Configuration/Directory file screen (#1) in Figure 11-2 “Open Configuration/Directory File” is the first screen displayed when you run
NMMGR. Verify that the correct network directory
file name is in the Network directory file name field. If you have assigned a write access password, enter
it in this field. If you are not using the password feature, leave
this field blank. Press the [Open Directry] key. If you are creating the file for the first time,
NMMGR will ask you to verify creation. Press the [Open Directry] key again to continue.
Fields- Configuration file name
The only configuration file name the system recognizes for
use by the network subsystem is NMCONFIG.PUB.SYS. You can, however, create or modify a configuration
file using a different name and save it as an offline
configuration file. You can use offline configuration
files as a means of creating and storing configurations that you
want to use in the future or that you are preparing for use on a
different system. When you are ready to use an offline configuration
file, rename it as NMCONFIG.PUB.SYS and reboot the system. (Keep in mind that any
file you use as a configuration file must be successfully validated
before you try to use it.) - Backup configurationfile name
A backup file name must be specified whenever a configuration
file is opened or created. The default backup configuration file
name is NMCBACK.group.account. The backup file will be automatically updated
with the contents of the configuration file each time the configuration
file is successfully validated. - Network directory file name
The only network directory file name supported by
HP is NSDIR.NET.SYS. This file is part of a KSAM pair. A key file
is created at the same time as this data file. The key file will
automatically be named using the first six letters of the network
directory file name, appended with the character K. For example, NSDIRK.NET.SYS is the name of the key file associated with the
data file NSDIR.NET.SYS. If the name of the data file is less than six
letters long, then the entire file name would be appended with a K. - Write access password
The password is an optional feature. If a password
has been assigned, you must enter it in the password field to update
the configuration file or the directory file. It is still possible
to open an existing file without using an assigned password, but
the file will be in read only mode and no changes will be accepted. If a password has not been assigned, you should ignore the
password field. If you want to assign a password for the system you are configuring,
see Using the Node Management Services (NMS) Utilities.
