Begin Configuration Process
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
A network directory must be configured in the following
circumstances:
• nodes running X.25
• nodes not using domain name services
• nodes on a LAN network that do not support the
HP-PROBE protocol
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 NMMGR will not accept changes.
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.
