Administering SNAplus2

Using the Motif Administration Program

The body of the Node window is split into the following panes for the different types of resources for the node:

Connectivity pane

The top pane of the Node window lists connectivity resources for the node, including ports, link stations or PUs on each port, and dependent LUs on a specific link station or PU. For each resource, this window shows current status information.

Independent Local LUs pane

The middle pane shows independent LUs for the node. For each LU, this window also displays information about sessions using the LU.

Remote Systems pane

The lower pane shows information about remote nodes and partner LUs. It also shows session information for each remote node or partner LU.

To change the relative sizes of the panes, click and drag on the boundaries between panes.

You can select a pane by clicking in it. You can also select specific resources within a pane by clicking on the line for the resource. To view or modify the configuration for an item, you can double-click on the item. (You can also use the buttons and menus on this window to access configuration information for specific resources.)

For each item listed, resources that belong to that item are nested within the information for that item. For example, link stations are grouped under the port to which they belong. You can click on the Expand button

next to an item to show the resources for that item if they are not currently displayed, or click on the Contract button to hide the

resources for an item.

You can perform the following administration tasks from the Node window:
