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
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.
