Administering SNAplus2

 

Using the Motif Administration Program

 

In a client/server environment, SNAplus2 displays the Domain window.

 

For a standalone system, SNAplus2 displays the Node window.

 

This guide uses the term window to describe Motif windows that display

NOTE

 

information about SNAplus2 resources. A window can contain one or

 

more sections, or panes. A dialog is a Motif window on which you can

 

enter information.

 

Resource Windows

 

 

The Domain window and the Node window show most of the information

 

you need and provide easy access to additional information. From those

 

windows, you can easily display information about resources in your

 

local network.

 

The Domain window shows all defined nodes, and enables you to add,

 

delete, start, and stop nodes. Double-clicking on any node brings up the

 

Node window for that node.

 

The Node window shows all the key resources for a particular node.

 

The menus in the Domain and Node windows provide the following

 

functions:

 

Selection

 

The functions in this menu relate to the node that is

 

currently selected in the Domain window or the item

 

that is currently selected in the Node window. From

 

this menu, you can start or stop the node or zoom on it

 

to display its Node window. When you select an item in

 

the Node window, you can control, modify, or delete the

 

item using controls in this menu, or add a new item in

 

the currently selected pane.

 

Services

 

This menu provides easy access to all the dialogs

 

required to configure the node for common tasks. Using

 

this menu, you can add or modify resources or get help

 

for configuration and management tasks.

 

Diagnostics

 

You can control logging and tracing from items in this

 

menu.
