HP-UX SNAplus2 R7 Administration Guide

Administering SNAplus2
Using the Motif Administration Program
3.4.2 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.
Windows
You can easily access other windows from this menu. These windows include the following:
• Emulator Users and Sessions window
• RJE Workstations window
• LU Pools window
• CPI-C Destination Names window
Depending on the resources you select and the options you choose, the administration program can present additional
resource windows, configuration dialogs, or status logs. You will also see context dialogs that enable you to select
a specific resource to configure, confirmation dialogs that ask you to confirm a choice, and message pop-ups that
provide feedback or error information. Each window and dialog also includes a help option.
Domain Window
The Domain window shows each active SNA node in the SNAplus2 domain for the system you are using. (A node
does not appear in the Domain window if SNAplus2 is not running on the node.) Each node is identified using the
name of the system. The Domain window also shows the current status of each node in the domain.
Note
If a server is unexpectedly missing from the list of nodes in the Domain window, verify
that the server is switched on and that the SNAplus2 software is running on the server.
If necessary, start the SNAplus2 software on that node using the snap start command
(see Section 3.3.2, Enabling SNAplus2 Servers).
One node in a domain is always identified as the configuration server for the domain. The Domain window shows
the word “Master” next to that node. The Master configuration server always contains configuration information
for domain resources. Backup configuration servers are identified by the word “Backup” on this window. Backup
configuration servers contain copies of the configuration information for domain resources.
An example of a Domain window is shown in Figure 3–1, SNAplus2 Domain Window.
