PD Command Example

The following example illustrates the use of the Purge Link File Directories Command.

Example 1. Purging a Link File Directory

NM> PD,08-00-09-00-02-5A,08-00-09-00-02-00<RETURN>

Purge Link File Directories on node

08-00-09-00-02-5A.... [ok]

NM> RC,08-00-09-00-02-00,10<RETURN>

 

Read 802.3 Link Config of node

 

08-00-09-00-02-00....

File Server Station Address

08-00-09-00-02-5A

NM> SC,08-00-09-00-02-00,10,00-00-00-00-00-00<RETURN>

Set 802.3 Link Config of node

 

08-00-09-00-02-00....

File Server Station Address

00-00-00-00-00-00

NM>

 

 

In Example 1, the Link File directory ADDR080009000200 and its files are purged from the File Server Node (File Server Station Address is 08"00"09"00"02"5A).

As shown by the RC command, the File Server Station Address is still configured at the node whose Link File directory was purged. The subsequent SC command reconfigures the File Server Station Address to the null address.

Check Link File Existence Command (CK)

This command allows the user to check whether a particular Link File directory exists on a specified disk"based node that is being used for Node Manager file services.

The syntax of this command is:

CK[,[ADR][,[FileAddress][,LU#]]]

where:

 

ADR

This is the Station Address of the File Server Node that is being checked

 

for the existence of a Link File directory. It is entered as 6 pairs of

 

hexadecimal digits separated by hyphens. See Table 5"2 for default entries.

FileAddress

This is the Station Address of the node that identifies the Link File

 

directory. It is entered as 6 pairs of hexadecimal digits separated by

 

hyphens, and is mapped to the name of the Link File directory. See

 

Table 5"2 for default entries.

LU#

This is the Logical Unit number of the LANIC card through which the

 

command is transmitted and from which a response is received. It is a

 

number in the range 2 to 255 (decimal) established during system

 

generation; hence, it always applies to a local LANIC card. See Table 5"2

 

for default values.
