Introduction to SNAplus2 Administration Commands

Using snapadmin

To request detailed information, you can use the -doption on the snapadmin command line instead of specifying a value of DETAIL for the list_options parameter. The -doption returns detailed information unless you explicitly specify a value of SUMMARY for the list_options parameter which returns summary information only.

1.1.3 Examples of Administration Commands

This section provides some examples of snapadmin commands as you would issue them on the command line. Many of the parameters in these commands are not specified, so snapadmin uses the default values; see the description of each command in Chapter 2, Administration Commands for details of the default parameter values.

The following commands define connectivity to a remote system over Ethernet. Note the use of angle brackets to specify the mac_address parameter as a hexadecimal array.

define_ethernet_dlc, dlc_name = DLCNAME, initially_active = YES

define_ethernet_port, port_name = PORTNAME, dlc_name = DLCNAME, initially_active = YES define_ethernet_ls, ls_name = LSNAME1, port_name = PORTNAME, mac_address = <000000000000>

The following commands define a local LU used for LU6.2, and the partner LU that it communicates with.

define_local_lu, lu_name=LUNAME1, lu_alias=LUNAME1

define_partner_lu, fqplu_name=APPN.PTNRLU, plu_alias=PTNR01

The following command activates a session between the local LU and partner LU, using the standard SNA mode named #CONNECT. Note the use of a backslash character \ before the # character in this name, to prevent interpretation by the HP-UX shell.

activate_session, lu_alias=LUNAME1, plu_alias=PTNR01, mode=\#CONNECT

The following commands request information about the definition of the partner LU, its current status, and the sessions between the local and partner LUs. In all cases, the DETAIL value is used to request detailed information, overriding the default which is to provide summary information only.

query_partner_lu_definition, list_options=DETAIL, plu_alias=PTNR01

query_partner_lu, list_options=DETAIL, lu_name=LUNAME1, plu_alias=PTNR01

query_session, num_entries=0, list_options=DETAIL+FIRST_IN_LIST, lu_name=LUNAME1, plu_alias=PTNR01
