INMC Definitions
This subsection explains the procedures for altering and deleting INMC definitions.
You can alter or delete a link, session, or unit definition without stopping NonStop
NET/MASTER MS or interrupting the flow of messages across an INMC link. A
complete discussion of the commands described here appears in the NonStop
NET/MASTER MS Command Reference Manual.
Altering INMC Definitions To alter an INMC definition, follow these steps:
1. Use the LINK DEFINE, SESSION DEFINE, or UNIT DEFINE command to redefine
the definition that you want to change.
2. To implement the changes, reset the link.
Follow the instructions described under “Resetting a Link,” later in this
subsection.
Deleting INMC Definitions To delete an INMC definition, follow these steps:
1. Use the LINK DELETE, SESSION DELETE, or UNIT DELETE command to delete
the definition you want to remove.
For example, to delete a unit named XU1, issue the following command:
UNIT DELETE=XU1
You must delete each link, session, and unit definition that you want to remove.
Deletion of a link definition does not automatically delete the link’s subordinate
session and unit definitions; deletion of a session definition does not automatically
delete the session’s subordinate unit definitions.
Deletion of an INMC definition does not affect the current operational status of the
link to the remote management application.
2. To remove all deleted definitions from use, reset the link.
Follow the instructions described under “Resetting a Link,” next.
Resetting a Link Reset a link when you want to implement an INMC definition change. Changes can
include alteration and deletion of a link, session, or unit definition. To reset a link, use
the LINK RESET command. The command takes the following form:
LINK RESET= link-name
For example, to reset a link named IBMHOST, issue the following command:
LINK RESET=IBMHOST
This will stop the link; future LINK START commands will use the changed
definitions.
