Configuring the ATM Subsystem

This section describes the configuration of the ATM subsystem on a NonStop S-series

server. It also describes the prerequisites to getting started and provides a

configuration quick start that takes you through each step of the configuration.

For information on configuring TCP/IP over the ATM subsystem, see the

TCP/IPv6

Configuration and Management Manual

Before You Configure

Before you can configure and start the ATM subsystem, you previously must have

configured and started a NonStop S-series server and several underlying processes

and subsystems.

Before you attempt to start a line between the NonStop S-series server and the

external environment, you must install and configure a third-party ATM switch,

connecting it on one side to the ATM adapter and on the other side to an external

network.

Configuring the NonStop S-Series Server

Before you configure the ATM subsystem:

1. Check that the NonStop S-series server is configured and started by the system

generation (SYSGENR) program.

For more information on planning and configuring the NonStop S-series server, see

the

NonStop S-Series Planning and Configuration Guide

2. Check that the $ZPM persistence manager process is started.

$ZPM starts and maintains persistence of SCF subsystem managers; starts, stops,

and (optionally) restarts generic processes; and coordinates system load and

processor reload activities.

3. Check that the $ZZLAN subsystem manager process is started.

$ZZLAN configures local area network (LAN) connections and facilities.

4. Check that the $ZZSTO subsystem manager process is started.

$ZZSTO configures all storage devices such as disk and tape.

5. Check that the $ZZKRN subsystem manager process is started.

$ZZKRN configures the X and Y fabrics, all system attributes, and generic

processes. For more information, see the

SCF Reference Manual for the Kernel
