Starting NonStop NET/MASTER MS

Appendix A, “File Reference”). When the static or dynamic process creates the files, it
uses the process character to uniquely identify the files.
The NCP deletes the files when NonStop NET/MASTER MS shuts down normally.
However, when reinstalling NonStop NET/MASTER MS, purge the following files (if
they exist):
$ isv-vol .ZNNMDATA. p Q nnn
$ isv-vol .ZNNMDATA. p Q nnn A
$ isv-vol .ZNNMDATA. p Q nnn X
For example, if you start NonStop NET/MASTER MS with the default startup
configuration, the $isv-vol is $BUNDY, and the name of a static or dynamic process is
$Z000, purge the following files (if they exist):
$BUNDY.ZNNMDATA.ZQ000
$BUNDY.ZNNMDATA.ZQ000A
$BUNDY.ZNNMDATA.ZQ000X
Note Ensure that all processes started by the NCP are stopped before you attempt to purge these files:
otherwise, the files may still be open and you will not be able to purge them.
By default, NonStop NET/MASTER MS starts its own Distributed Systems Network
Management (DSNM) environment. Accordingly, refer to the Distributed Systems
Management Solutions (DSMS) System Management Guide to determine whether any
actions (such as purging configuration files in the ZDSMS subvolume) are required to
start the DSNM environment again. NonStop NET/MASTER MS does not copy or
otherwise manipulate any DSNM configuration files.
After performing the tasks described in this subsection, restart NonStop
NET/MASTER MS from Step 5 in “Phase 2: Start the NonStop NET/MASTER MS
System,” earlier in this section.
Running the NCP
Program
You use the TACL RUN command to run the NCP program object file. Immediately
after the REPSUBSYS phase of the Install process, the NCP program object file is
located in the ZNNM subvolume on the installation volume. The NCP program starts
the NCP.
The NCP is the first process started in a NonStop NET/MASTER MS system. The
NCP starts all other NonStop NET/MASTER MS and DSNM processes. The NCP is
also responsible for detecting when processes and processors fail. The NCP is
required in all operating modes: basic, extended basic, and advanced (see Section 11,
“Configuring the Processing Environment,” for information on operating modes).
The syntax of the TACL RUN command used to start the NCP is the following:
RUN NCP / run-options / backup-cpu [ config-file ]
