Starting the Name Manager
Through TACL
A name manager process can be started directly at your TACL prompt. It is not
necessary to have DNSCOM running to start a name manager process this way. The
TACL command to start a name manager is:
DNSMGR / IN configuration file , OUT $0, NAME name , &
[, PRI priority ] [, CPU pri cpu ] / [ backup cpu ]
where
configuration file
is the name of the configuration file for the configuration with which the
process is to be associated. For more information on this refer to the Distributed
Name Service (DNS) Management Operations Manual.
name
is the name under which the process is to run. If this name is the same as
PROCESSNAME for DNSMGR (as specified in configuration file ), then the
process is the name manager for the configuration. If name is not
PROCESSNAME for DNSMGR, the process is an inquiry process and will only
accept inquiry commands (INFO and STATUS) and the STOP DNS command.
priority
is the run priority for the process. If not specified, the run priority defaults as
usual.
pri cpu
is the primary CPU number for the process.
backup cpu
is the CPU in which the primary process is to create its backup. If specified, it
must be different from pri cpu . If not specified, the resulting process will not
run in a Tandem NonStop mode. For more information on the backup CPU, refer
to the System Procedure Calls Reference Manual.
In this example, the ampersand character (&) is displayed to indicate that the TACL
command line was broken to fit within the margins of the page. It is not part of the
featured command.
