Setting Up ALLBASE/NET

This chapter provides you with procedures for setting up ALLBASE/NET on both the clien t and server. It explains ho w to:

Use NETUtil to migrate pro￿les before HP-UX 10.0 is installed on a serv er system.

Invoke and use NETUtil.

Set up ALLBASE/NET on the clien t.

Set up ALLBASE/NET on the serv er.

Before you begin setting up ALLBASE/NET, mak e sure your networking softw are is up and running. To do this, type NSCONTROL STATUS at the system prompt. F or more information on this and other listener commands, refer to the section \Setting Up ALLBASE/NET on the Server" in this chapter.

Using NETUtil to Migrate Profiles Before Installing HP-UX 10.0

If you are installing NETUtil for the ￿rst time on y our system or ha ve no MPE/iX to HP-UX ALLBASE/NET connections, y ou can skip this section, and go to the section \Using NETUtil."

Warning

Cross-System Users: Do not upgrade to HP-UX 10.0 until G.0 is installed on

 

your MPE/iX system.

 

 

Beginning with HP-UX 10.0, ARP A Services will be the only v alid datacomm t ype for new and existing applications that run on the HP 9000 S700 or S800 clien t and/or server through ALLBASE/NET. Therefore, y ou must change the alias pro￿les in the AliasDB ￿le on the client and the user pro￿les in the NETUsers ￿le on the HP-UX serv er. You can use the migration commands MIGRA TE ALIAS and MIGRATE USER to change pro￿les where the client and/or server is an HP9000 S700 or S800 and the datacomm t ype is NS. You must have SM capability or log on as MANAGER.SYS to use the migration commands.

The MIGRATE ALIAS command can be executed with either the automatic or man ual option. The automatic option c hanges all the alias pro￿les. The man ual option prompts y ou for changes to each alias pro￿le. Listed belo w are the requiremen ts for executing MIGRATE ALIAS for automatic migration on the HP 9000 S700 and S800. If the requiremen ts are not met, you can use the man ual migration option of the MIGRA TE ALIAS command.

1.Automatic migration m ust occur before HP-UX 10.0 is installed on clien t and/or server machines. The implemen tation of the MIGRATE ALIAS command for the HP 9000 S700 and S800 will use NetIPC calls, and will require a connection to the serv er. If HP-UX 10.0 is installed on either clien t or server, the NetIPC calls w on't exist.
