Starting Multiple

NonStop NET/MASTER

MS Systems on a Node

In some environments, you may need to use several copies of NonStop NET/MASTER

MS on a single Tandem node. For example, you may want to run production, testing,

and development systems on the same node.

Several NonStop NET/MASTER MS systems can execute concurrently on a single

node. Each system is identified by a different process character. There is a limit of 26

copies of NonStop NET/MASTER MS on a single node, because the process character

that distinguishes each NonStop NET/MASTER MS system must be an alphabetic

character. Note that three of the 26 copies are reserved by Tandem because Tandem

uses the process characters X, Y, and Z. Process character Z is the default.

Executing multiple copies of NonStop NET/MASTER MS requires no additional

configuration. To start another NonStop NET/MASTER MS system, follow these

steps:

1. Verify that you have the system capacity to run an additional NonStop

NET/MASTER MS system.

2. Run the NCP program.

Begin the name of the NCP with a character other than X, Y, or Z, because Tandem

reserves use of those characters. Issue a command such as the one in this example

(A is the process character):

RUN $

isv-vol

.ZNNM.NCP /NAME $ANNM, NOWAIT, TERM $OSP, CPU 3/4

For additional information about starting the NCP program, see “Running the NCP

Program,” earlier in this section.

Using One of Many

NonStop NET/MASTER

MS Systems on a

Local Node

To use a NonStop NET/MASTER MS system on a local node whose NCP is named

something other than $ZNNM, specify the name of the NonStop NET/MASTER MS

system you want to use as a run option of the NNM program. The syntax of the NNM

program is shown here.

[ RUN ] NNM $

pxxx

specifies the name of the NCP for the NonStop NET/MASTER MS system, as

described in “Running the NCP Program,” earlier in this section.

For example, to log on to the NonStop NET/MASTER MS system whose NCP name is

$ANNM, issue the following command at the TACL prompt:

NNM $ANNM

To log on to the NonStop NET/MASTER MS system whose NCP name is $PROD,

issue the following command at the TACL prompt:

NNM $PROD
