Establishing a Connection
Establishing a Connection
To establish a connection between two NonStop S-series servers, repeat the tasks
described in this section to create an Expand line-handler process at the neighbor
system.
If the neighbor system is a NonStop K-series server (or other type of NonStop system),
you must use the system generation program or the COUP interface to the Dynamic
System Configuration (DSC) utility to create an Expand line-handler process at the
neighbor system.
Refer to the System Generation Manual for Expand or the Dynamic System
Configuration (DSC) Manual in the D-series documentation for more information.
Once you have configured and started Expand line-handler processes at both the local
and destination systems, you can start the Expand line (or lines).
Starting an Expand Path
To start a single-line path, use the following command:
-> START LINE $device_name
where device_name is the name of a single-line Expand line-handler process.
Starting Lines in a Multi-Line Path
To start all the lines in a multi-line path, use the following command:
-> START PATH $path_name
where path_name is the name of a the path-logical device.
To start specific lines in a multi-line path, use the following command:
-> START LINE $line_name
where line_name is the name of a logical device.
