Task 1: Configure and Start $NCP

The network control process ($NCP) is responsible for initiating and terminating server-

to-server connections and maintaining network-related system tables, including routing

information. $NCP must be running at every node in the Expand network before

Expand lines can be started.

To configure and start the network control process, perform the following steps:

1. Log onto the NonStop S-series server using the super ID (SUPER.SUPER) and

enter the correct password at the Password: prompt.

> LOGON SUPER.SUPER

Password:

2. At the TACL prompt, start the Subsystem Control Facility (SCF).

> SCF

3. Create a profile for the network control process.

-> ADD PROFILE $ZZWAN.#PEXPNCP, FILE $SYSTEM.SYS00.PEXPNCP

4. Create the network control process.

-> ADD DEVICE $ZZWAN.#NCP, IOPOBJECT $SYSTEM.SYS00.NCPOBJ, &

PROFILE PEXPNCP, CPU 0, ALTCPU 1, TYPE (62,6), RSIZE 1

5. Start the network control process

-> START DEVICE $ZZWAN.#NCP

Task 2: Start the Expand Manager Process

1. The Expand subsystem requires that the Expand manager process ($ZEXP) be

running during network operation. To start the Expand manager process, enter the

following command at the TACL prompt:

> RUN $SYSTEM.SYSnn.OZEXP / NAME $ZEXP, PRI 180, NOWAIT,&

CPU primary / backup

where primary is the number of the processor where the primary process will run

and backup is the processor where the backup process will run.

Note. Do not log off or exit from SCF after completing this task. The remaining tasks in this

procedure require the use of SCF commands and super ID privileges.
