nwmgr Overview

The nwmgr command enables you to perform the following tasks that are not possible with the legacy commands:

Generate output in a form that scripts can parse with the --sc or -script option for most command options. See “Displaying HP APA Configuration Information” for an example.
Make changes persist across reboots with the --saved option. This saves changes to the /etc/rc.config.d/hp_apaconf, /etc/rc.config.d/hp_apaportconf, and /etc/lanmon/lanconfig.ascii files.
Perform Critical Resources Analysis (CRA) of ports with the --cra. This displays any system resource that depends on an APA interface.
Add ports to an existing failover group with the with the -a option.
Delete ports from a failover group with the -d option.

Changes made using nwmgr are effective immediately and can be made to persist across reboots by using the --saved option.

By default, nwmgr gets (displays) attributes of an interface (-g or --get option). Any example in this manual that shows the getting of attributes does not explicitly show this option in the command line.

HP APA is the apa subsystem. Use the nwmgr -h -S apa command to display a list of command syntaxes for the APA subsystem.

For a complete description of the functionality available for administering HP-UX APA subsystems using nwmgr, syntax, and examples, see nwmgr_apa(1M) and nwmgr(1M).
