specifies the rest of the process name. Specify the rest of the process name
as three alphanumeric characters. It is helpful, although not essential, to
specify NNM as the rest of the process name. To use the default startup
configuration, specify NNM as the rest of the process name.
NOWAIT
specifies the standard NOWAIT option. Tandem recommends that you use
this option.
PRI priority
specifies the execution priority of the NCP. The NCP execution priority
setting influences the default execution priority of other NonStop
NET/MASTER MS and DSNM processes when you use the default startup
configuration. See Appendix B, “Default Configuration Values Reference,” for
specific information.
If you omit the PRI operand, the NCP is allocated a priority one less than your
TACL process.
After NonStop NET/MASTER MS starts, the owner of NonStop
NET/MASTER MS can dynamically change the priority of the NCP by using
the TACL ALTPRI command.
TERM $ terminal-name
specifies the home terminal for the NCP. If you omit this option, the NCP uses
the terminal from which you run the NCP program. Specify the home
terminal name as a valid name for a terminal (that is, after the dollar sign, an
alphanumeric string of one to six characters, the first of which must be
alphabetic).
The terminal specified can be the system’s OSP or another paused terminal
that receives home terminal messages. DSNM and some utilities invoked by
NonStop NET/MASTER MS route completion and error messages to the
terminal specified by the TERM run option.
backup-cpu
specifies the number of the CPU in which the backup process of the NCP is to
execute.
To run the NCP as a process pair, specify different CPUs for the primary and
backup processes. To run the NCP without a backup process, specify the
same CPUs for the primary and backup processes.
If you specify a nonexistent backup CPU, then the NCP program cannot be
run and NonStop NET/MASTER MS does not start.
