Enabling and Disabling SNAplus2 on the Local System
Enabling SNAplus2 Servers
This section describes how to enable SNAplus2 on a computer that was installed as a server (that is, with the SNA node components installed). If you are enabling SNAplus2 on a client, see “Enabling SNAplus2 on
You must enable SNAplus2 on the local system before you can configure or manage the local node (either locally or from a remote SNAplus2 node).
To enable the SNAplus2 software, enter the following command at the
You can also enable SNAplus2 automatically at system startup by inserting the snap start command into the startup file on your system. (When you install SNAplus2, the installation utility automatically updates the startup file with this information.)

If a component of SNAplus2 attempts to allocate kernel memory that would cause the total amount of memory currently allocated to SNAplus2 components to exceed this limit, the allocation attempt fails.
If you do not use this option, kernel memory usage is not limited.
