H06.11 Software Installation and Upgrade Guide

Step 2: Check the PROTOCOL File (Optional)
CAUTION: Even if you are running TCP/IPv6 in IPv4 or conventional TCP/IP mode, you must
make sure that the PROTOCOL file contains ipv6 and icmpv6 entries. If these entries are absent,
a network failure might occur because the new socket routines present in TELSERV, LISTNER,
and FTP access the entries in the PROTOCOL file.
If the PROTOCOL configuration file exists in $SYSTEM.ZTCPIP, you must add two lines from
the sample PROTOCOL file (SMPLPROT). Find the lines in SMPLPROT from the SUT that refer
to IPV6 and ICMPV6 and copy those lines into your $SYSTEM.ZTCPIP.PROTOCOL file. For
example:
12> TYPE SMPLPROT
#
# @(#)protocols 1.1 Tandem
#
# Internet (IP) protocols
# This file is never consulted when the yellow pages are running
#
ip 0 IP # internet protocol, pseudo protocol number
icmp 1 ICMP internet control message protocol
ggp 3 GGP gateway-gateway protocol
tcp 6 TCP transmission control protocol
pup 12 PUP PARC universal packet protocol
udp 17 UDP user datagram protocol
ipv6 41 IP internet protocol for v6
icmpv6 58 ICMP internet control message protocol for v6
Step 3: Ensure That PORTCONF and SERVICES Files Are Complete
The PORTCONF file specifies the ports that the LISTNER process listens to and the corresponding
server program it invokes when the request comes in.
If you copied files as documented in Step 1, for the DSM/SCM Planner Interface to work, you
must add a services line corresponding to DSM/SCM in the PORTCONF file (shown in bold
lettering) and save the file. If you did not copy the files as documented in Step 1, no action is
necessary. An example of the PORTCONF file:
58> type portconf
#
# This file tells the listner program which ports to
# listen to, and what programs to run
# Telnet is directly, and does not use the listner's
# services.
# To run the listner use:
# $system.ztcpip.listner / name.../ [config-file-name]
# where config-file-name is this file.
#
ftp $system.ztcpip.ftpserv
finger $system.ztcpip.fingserv
$system.ztcpip.echoserv
phiwsock $tdsv.zdsmscm.pdpexe
Applications use the SERVICES file to retrieve the service port numbers and service names. If
you copied files as documented in Step 1, check that the last lines of the SERVICES file have an
entry similar to:
phiwsock 1089/tcp #DSM/SCM Planner Interface
