G-Series Migration

This appendix is intended for programmers who want to modify Tandem LAN Access

Method (TLAM) management applications to manage the PAM subsystem. It is

assumed that readers are familiar with the TLAM management programming interface.

Topics described in this appendix include the following:

•

A comparison of the PAM and TLAM object types

•

A comparison of the PAM and TLAM programmatic commands

•

A comparison of the PAM and TLAM event messages

A detailed comparison of the PAM and TLAM subsystem components is provided in the

PAM Configuration and Management Manual.

Object Type Comparison

In the context of Distributed Systems Management (DSM), the TLAM subsystem is a

set of processes that deals with a set of objects. Table C-1 compares the PAM and

TLAM objects.

Table C-1. PAM and TLAM Object Comparison (page 1 of 2)

Object Name PAM TLAM Comments

PROCESS Yes Yes The PROCESS object in the TLAM

subsystem represents the TLAM

manager process, MLMAN.

In the PAM subsystem, the PROCESS

object represents a PAM process.

LINE Yes Yes The LINE object in the TLAM

subsystem represents the TLAM IOP

(MLMAN).

In the PAM subsystem, the LINE object

represents the physical link to a LAN

provided by an E4SA or a TRSA.

CONTROLLER No Yes

SERVICE No Yes

FSAP No Yes
