NS X.25 Migration: NS 3000/V to NS 3000/iX
Using NMMGRVER
Using NMMGRVER
To use the NMMGRVER utility to convert your NS 3000/V
configuration file to NS 3000/iX release 2.0 or later, proceed as follows:
Step 1. At the MPE/iX prompt, type: NMMGRVER.PUB.SYS and answer the
questions.
Step 2. Do either steps a through c or steps d through g.
If your NS 3000/V node had only an NMCONFIG file (but no NSCONF files),
follow the instructions in steps a through c.
a. To convert the NMCONFIG file enter the file name:
NMCONFIG.PUB.SYS.
b. Enter Y to proceed when prompted.
c. Select type 2 for NMCONFIG type file. The converted file will be saved
with the file name you entered. In this case it is NMCONFIG.PUB.SYS.
This is the only filename that the node will recognize as its
configuration file.
If your NS 3000/V node had one or more NSCONF files, follow the
instructions in steps d through g.
d. Merge your NS 3000/V NSCONF file with the NS 3000/V NMCONFIG
file, and convert it for use with NS 3000/iX release 2.0 or later by
entering a file name, for example: NSCONF1.PUB.SYS.
e. Enter Y to proceed when prompted.
f. Select type 1 for NSCONF type file. NMMGRVER will merge the
contents of the existing NMCONFIG file with the NSCONF file you
specified. It will be saved in the NSCONF file you specified. In this
example, NSCONF1.
g. If you converted more than one NSCONF file, decide which one will be
the network configuration you want on the NS 3000/iX system.
Rename the file to NMCONFIG.PUB.SYS.
Updating X.25 XL System Access Parameters
On the NS 3000/iX host, use NMMGR to change the following
parameters to provide X.25 XL System Access:
1. If migrating from any NS 3000/V release before release V delta 7,
modify the screen at path @NETXPORT.NI.
niname
