WAN Subsystem Interface to ATP6100
For G-series systems, the ATP6100 line-handler process is defined and started with
the Subsystem Control Facility (SCF) from the WAN subsystem. The WAN subsystem
SCF commands that are relevant to ATP6100 configuration are described in Creating
an ATP6100 Line-Handler Process on page 3-4. For detailed information about the
functions of the WAN subsystem, refer to the WAN Subsystem Configuration and
Management Manual.
On G-series and H-series RVUs, the WAN subsystem provides the functions that the
Configuration Utility Program (COUP) and SYSGEN (or profiles) provide on the
NonStop K-series servers. Specifically, the WAN subsystem allows you to:
•
Define ATP6100 lines and the modifiers that affect their operation
•
Start ATP6100 lines
•
Stop, alter, or delete ATP6100 lines
•
Monitor the primary and backup ATP6100 processes and restart them if both fail
You use the SCF interface to the WAN subsystem to perform the above functions. The
WAN subsystem and the SCF interface to the WAN subsystem are described in detail
in the WAN Subsystem Configuration and Management Manual.
The WAN subsystem must be started before you attempt to configure the ATP6100
subsystem. Persistent changes to ATP6100, such as creating a line, must be sent
through the WAN subsystem. The WAN subsystem stores changes, additions, and
deletions in the system configuration database.
An ATP6100 line is called an ATP6100 DEVICE object in the WAN subsystem and an
ATP6100 LINE object in the ATP6100 subsystem.
When issuing a command, specify the subsystem in the line name (for example,
$ZZWAN.#ATPL1), SCP then routes the command to the correct subsystem (in this
case, the WAN Manager).
