UNIT DEFINE The UNIT DEFINE command defines an Inter-NET/MASTER Connection (INMC)
unit definition record and stores it in global memory. INMC is the NonStop
NET/MASTER MS service that allows multiple NonStop NET/MASTER MS and the
SOLVE management services systems to be connected.
A complete link definition consists of three parts: a link definition record, defined
using the LINK DEFINE command; one or more session definition records, each of
which is defined using the SESSION DEFINE command; and one or more unit
definition records, each of which is defined using the UNIT DEFINE command.
Complete link definitions are required on both systems connected by an INMC link.
Between two Tandem systems running NonStop NET/MASTER MS, the link can be
process-to-process, SNA, or X.25. Between a Tandem system running NonStop
NET/MASTER MS and an IBM system running the SOLVE management services, the
link must be SNA; the IBM system must be primary and the Tandem system must be
secondary.
