NonStop NET/MASTER MS Commands

CNM The CNM command establishes and discontinues communication from NonStop
NET/MASTER MS (as a Communication Network Management (CNM) application)
with the SNAX System Services Control Point (SSCP). You must define the
application using a Guardian utility such as the Communications Management
Interface (CMI) or the Subsystem Control Facility (SCF) before it can be used by
NonStop NET/MASTER MS. You must define the name of the application using the
SYSPARMS CNMAPPLNME command before you can start a session using the CNM
START command.
CNM is used to transfer information about other SNA nodes to different IBM System
Network Management (SNA) nodes. The information transfer takes place using
message structures that carry CNM requests and replies—Network Management
Vector Transport (NMVT), Record Formatted Maintenance Statistics (RECFMS), and
Request Maintenance Statistics (REQMS) message structures. The SSCP is responsible
for managing and allocating all resources in a domain in an IBM Systems Network
Architecture (SNA) network and for communicating with network operators. There is
one SSCP for each domain in an SNA network.
NonStop NET/MASTER MS uses the CNM interface for soliciting CNM information.
Unsolicited CNM records are received using Event Management Service (EMS).
CNM { START | STOP }
START
establishes communication with the SNAX SSCP defined to NonStop
NET/MASTER MS. Once communication is established, CNM records can be sent
from and received by NonStop NET/MASTER MS across the CNM interface. If
the CNM application has not been correctly defined or opened, an error message is
displayed.
STOP
discontinues communication with the SNAX SSCP defined to NonStop
NET/MASTER MS. Once communication is discontinued, CNM records can no
longer be sent from and received by NonStop NET/MASTER MS across the CNM
interface.
