NAME
portmap - Maps TCP/IP ports to Remote Procedure Call (RPC) program numbers
SYNOPSIS
[ ADD DEFINE =TCPIPˆHOSTˆFILE, FILE hostfile ]
[ ADD DEFINE =TCPIPˆRESOLVERˆNAME, FILE resconffile ]
[ ADD DEFINE =TCPIPˆPROCESSˆNAME, FILE process ]
[ \node.]PORTMAP / NAME $ZPMn,NOWAIT/[ param ][, param ]...
FLAGS
hostfile Specifies the Guardian filename of the TCP/IP host definition file. This file con-
tains a list of valid host names, aliases for those names, and the corresponding
Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for those hosts.
This value must be specified if a domain name resolver is not running.
This value cannot be specified if the =TCPIPˆRESOLVERˆNAME DEFINE is
specified.
For information on creating a TCP/IP host definition file, refer to the
TCP/IP (Parallel Library) Configuration and Management Manual or the TCP/IP
Configuration and Management Manual.
resconffile Specifies the Guardian filename of the TCP/IP domain name resolver
configuration file. This file contains a list of valid name servers for resolution
between host names and Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for those hosts.
This value cannot be specified if the =TCPIPˆHOSTˆFILE DEFINE or the TCPIP
value for the param option is specified.
For information on creating a TCP/IP domain name resolver configuration file,
refer to the TCP/IP (Parallel Library) Configuration and Management Manual or
the TCP/IP Configuration and Management Manual.
process Specifies the Guardian process name of the standard process that provides an IP
address for the portmapper process.
This value should be specified if the TCPIP value for the param option is not
specified.
The value you specify depends on whether you use conventional TCP/IP or paral-
lel library TCP/IP.
• For conventional TCP/IP, the standard server process is usually named
$ZTCn, where n by convention is the digit used in the input/output pro-
cess (IOP) name associated with the controller being served. For exam-
ple, by convention $ZTC0 is the server for the controller that is accessed
through $LAN0.
• For parallel library TCP/IP, the standard server process is usually named
$ZSAMn, where n by convention is the digit used in the input/output pro-
cess (IOP) name associated with the controller being served. For exam-
ple, by convention $ZSAM0 is the server for the controller that is
accessed through $LAN0.
Most HP NonStop system software assumes that the correct default TCP/IP server
process name is $ZTC0. If only one TCP/IP server is configured, it should use
that process name, so the usual value to use for process with the first portmapper
process to be started is $ZTC0.
The process name used for the TCP/IP server process is a convention and is not
