Gaining Access to Remote Nodes
is part of a network that includes the \HERST node, you can start a TACL process on
\HERST by entering this command:
\HERST.TACL
The TACL program returns the initial TACL prompt, and you can now log onto the
\HERST system.
A remote TACL started this way does not have a backup process. If you want the
remote TACL process to run as a process pair, enter this command instead of the
previous command:
\HERST.TACL / NAME, CPU 1 / 2
The NonStop operating system assigns a name to the process pair and starts the
process in processor 1 with a backup process in processor 2.
If you do not know the processor numbers for the remote system, start the primary
process as:
\HERST.TACL / NAME /
Then, after you are logged on, determine the processor numbers for the remote
system and issue a BACKUPCPU command. For example:
BACKUPCPU 4
If you use the SYSTEM or VOLUME command to change your current default node,
you can start a remote TACL process without specifying the node name. For example,
these commands start a TACL process in the node \HERST:
SYSTEM \HERST
TACL
When you are ready to quit the remote TACL process, enter the EXIT command. For
example:
5> EXIT
Are you sure you want to stop this TACL (\HERST.$Z100)?
Enter YES (or Y) to stop the remote process and
return to the TACL process on your
local node. If you do not want to stop the process, enter any other character or simply
press RETURN.
Stopping a remote TACL process returns you to your local TACL process.
