Defining the System Management Utilities

This section defines the system management utilities - NCP, NMDRV, NMVACP, CFE, NDA, VNP, LOO, and EVF. Figure 5-6 illustrates the sequence of questions for defining the system management utilities.

> ============================================================ immediately jump to the end-of-section (EOS) question.

The following statement is displayed in question and answer mode.

Creating bui Id fi les for NCP, the network control program.

Question 2.00 is displayed in component mode.

>* 02.00 Do you want NCP? [D=N] [YIN]:

NCP is the network control program. It al lows the system manager to perform a I lon-I i ne network management funct ions.

If you wish to rebui Id NCP, answer this question YES, otherwise answer NO.

In question and answer mode or restore mode, NCP is required for RSX-IIM/M-PLUS systems. For RSX-llS systems, it is optional.

In component mode, rebuilding NCP is optional.

The following statement is displayed in question and answer mode.

Creating bui Id fi les for NMVACP and NMDRV, the Network Management Volati Ie ACP and driver.

Question 3.00 is displayed in component mode.

>* 03.00 Do you want NMVACP and NMDRV? [D=N] [YIN]:

In question and answer mode or restore mode, NMV ACP and NMDRV are required for RSX-IIMIM-PLUS systems. In component mode, NMV ACP and NMDRV are optional.

For RSX-llS systems, NMDRV is built only if you have specified event logging;

NMVACP is never built.

The following statement is displayed in question and answer mode.

Creating bui Id fi les for CFE, the configuration fi Ie editor.

Question 4.00 is displayed in component mode.

>* 04.00 Do you want CFE? [D=N] [YIN]:

CFE is the configuration fi Ie editor. It al lows the system manager to make changes to the network's permanent database

(CETAB.MAC) .

If you wish to rebui Id CFE, answer this question YES, otherwise answer NO.

In question and answer mode or restore mode, CFE is required for all systems. In com-ponent mode, rebuilding CFE is optional.

The following statement is displayed in question and answer mode.

Creating bui Id fi les for NDA, the network dump analyzer.

Question 5.00 is displayed in component mode.

>* 05.00 Do you want NDA? [D=N] [YIN]:

NDA is the network dump analysis program. It provides the system manager with a tool which can analyze a system crash dump and print the network databases in a user readable format in much the same way the RSX crash dump analyzer (CDA) does for the system databases.

If you wish to rebui Id NDA, answer this question YES, otherwise answer NO.

In question and answer mode or restore mode, NDA is required for all systems. In com-ponent mode, rebuilding NDA is optional.

The following statement is displayed in question and answer mode.

Creating bui Id fi les for VNP, the virtual network control program.

Question 6.00 is displayed in component mode.

>* 06.00 Do you want VNP? [D=N] [YIN]:

VNP is the virtual network control program. It al lows the system manager to perform network management functions on a system image fi Ie, rather than on the running system.

If you wish to rebui Id VNP, answer this question YES, otherwise answer NO.

In question and answer mode or restore mode, VNP is required for RSX-l1S systems.

For RSX-IIMIM-PLUS systems, VNP is optional.

NETGEN displays the following statement for RSX-I1M and RSX-I1M-PLUS systems in question and answer mode.

Creating bui Id fi les for LaO, the loop test sender task.

Question 7.00 is displayed in component mode.

>* 07.00 Do you want LOa? [D=N] [YIN]:

LOa is the loop test sender task. It is responsible for performing both node and circuit level loopback tests, in

response to an NCP LOOP command.

For loop node tests, LOa sends to the MIR server task. For loop circuit tests, LOa sends to the LIN server task.

If you wish to bui Id LOa, answer this question YES, otherwise answer NO.

LOO is never built for RSX-llS systems.

If you are in question and answer mode and you answer Question 7.00 YES, NETGEN displays the following statement for RSX-IIM systems. However, if you have selected other options that automatically include DLX, then the following statement is not dis-played.

Note that to enable LOa to perform loop circuit tests, the DLX process must be selected in this generation.

The following statement is displayed in question and answer mode if you answered YES to Questions 9.00 or 10.00 (the standard function system option or all compo-nents option) in NET Section 01.

Creating bui Id fi les for EVF, the event fi Ie interpreter.

Question 8.00 is displayed in component mode or if you answered NO to Question 9.00 or 10.00 in NET Section 01. EVF is never built for RSX -11 S systems.

>* 8.00 Do you want EVF? [D=N] [YIN]:

EVR and EVC can write events out to an event fi Ie. This uti I ity interprets the event fi Ie, and displays the requested information.

If you wish to bui Id EVF, answer this question YES, otherwise answer NO.
