Starting the Nomadic Disk Manager
Starting the Nomadic Disk Manager 
For information on installation and configuration, see Section 3, Installing and 
Configuring the Nomadic Disk Manager. The Nomadic Disk Manager is accessed by 
entering the NOMADIC command. 
IN infile
specifies the infile or process name for the Nomadic Disk Manager. If this parameter 
is not specified, the Manager has the same infile that TACL process has when it 
starts the Nomadic Disk Manager.
OUT outfile
specifies the file to which output is written. If this parameter is omitted, the 
Nomadic Disk Manager writes to the output file of its parent TACL process. 
command-string
is a string of Nomadic Disk Manager commands. If this parameter is included, the 
command string is executed, and the Manager terminates. If this parameter is 
omitted, commands are accepted from the input file. If multiple commands are 
included in command-string, the commands must be separated by a semicolon. 
Considerations
•
If the TMFCONFIG, TEMPLATE, or SQLNODE statement is found in the  
configuration file, you will be prompted to remove these statements and restart the 
Nomadic Disk Manager.
•
The ServerNet Nomadic Disk TACL procedures must reside in a TACL segment file 
that is attached to the TACL process whenever the Super ID is used. Some functions 
performed by the Nomadic Disk Manager require Super ID privilege. 
•
The Nomadic Disk Manager accepts either a single command on a line or multiple 
commands on a line. If you issue multiple commands on a single line, use 
semicolons to separate the commands. If you enter multiple commands on the same 
line, the Nomadic Disk Manager attempts to execute each command in the line, 
regardless of the success or failure of any preceding command in the line.
•
If the Nomadic Disk Manager is being used interactively, you see a prompt of the 
following form: 
n ND> 
The number n is the Nomadic Disk Manager prompt number, which is incremented 
with each command entry. This number, like that of the TACL prompt, can be used 
in the FC command. 
NOMADIC [ / [ IN infile ] [ , OUT outfile ] / ] 
 [ command-string ]
