3. The third LINK START command starts an INMC link that becomes associated
with $ZIS3.
After the third LINK START command finishes execution, no static IS processes
are available.
4. The fourth LINK START command stimulates the NCP, which creates a dynamic
IS process and assigns the name $Z412, for example, to the process. The INMC
link started by the fourth LINK START command becomes associated with $Z412.
5. The fifth LINK START command stimulates the NCP, which creates a dynamic IS
program process and assigns the name $Z562, for example, to the process. The
INMC link started by the fifth LINK START command becomes associated with
$Z562.
You can reduce the amount of time required to start an INMC link by starting the IS-
supporting process as a static process. NonStop NET/MASTER MS starts all static
processes during the startup phase. If the IS-supporting process is created during the
startup phase, it is available when the LINK START command is issued. If the IS-
supporting process does not exist, but can be started dynamically, the LINK START
command results in the creation of an IS-supporting process. The LINK START
command does not finish execution until after the IS-supporting process is started.
Managing Interactive
User Logon
Processing
Interactive user logons are supported by processes that support the MS function. Both
NC and MS processes support the MS function. Each process class is designed to
comfortably support a maximum of 10 interactive user logons. To support more than
10 interactive user logons, NonStop NET/MASTER MS should either contain, or be
configured to dynamically create, additional NC or MS processes.
Note The EMS message NNM0553, described earlier in this section, is displayed if you exceed recommended
capacity limitations (more than 10 interactive user logons in the NC or MS process).
Typically, the system is also configured to spread interactive user logons across
multiple CPUs.
The MS-supporting process used depends on the operating mode:
In basic mode, the single NC process supports the MS function. If the NC process
is dynamic, each additional group of 10 interactive user logons is supported by an
additional NC process. If the NC process is static, each additional interactive user
logon is supported by the existing NC process.
In extended basic mode, both NC and MS processes support the MS function.
Each additional group of 10 interactive user logons is supported by an additional
MS process, not an NC process.
In advanced mode, the MS process supports the MS function. Each additional
group of 10 interactive user logons is supported by an additional MS process.
See “Configuring Static and Dynamic Application Processes,” earlier in this section,
for information about configuring additional NC and MS processes.
