Managing SNAplus2 from NetView
Using SPCFUsing SPCF
SPCF enables you to issue commands from the NetView console to manage the running SNAplus2 system. These commands are the same as those you can issue using the SNAplus2 command-line management program snapadmin (as described in HP-UX SNAplus2 Administration Command Reference).
For information about the syntax of an SPCF command, see “Overview of RCF Command Syntax”. The command text following the appl=node parameter is a command issued to the SNAplus2 command-line administration program, in the same format as you would specify it to the snapadmin program on the HP-UX command line. Refer to HP-UX SNAplus2 Administration Command Reference for information about the syntax of administration commands and the parameters for individual commands.
Restrictions on Administration Commands Used with SPCF
Administration commands associated with a specific node's resources (for example, the query_node and define_local_lu commands) are sent to the node associated with the service point name specified on the SPCF command. You cannot use the -noption to specify a different node name; therefore you cannot issue commands to a specific node unless this node is associated with a service point name at NetView. Commands that are associated with domain resources or with the SNA network data file, and not with a specific node, can always be issued. For information about whether a command is associated with a node, with domain resources, or with the SNA network data file, refer to the description of each command in HP-UX SNAplus2 Administration Command Reference.
You cannot use the command-line option -ito specify input from a file or from standard input. All commands must be entered directly at the NetView console.
With query_* commands, you can use the command-line options -a(return all entries) and -d(return detailed information) in the same way as when entering commands on the HP-UX command line.
