Configuring CNM Applications

You can write CNM processes to collect configuration, status, and statistical

information from SNAX/XF primary lines:



CONFIG processes gather HP-formatted status and statistical information about

SNAX/XF resources.



CNM applications (CNMAPPL) gather SNA-formatted configuration and statistical

information (RECFMS, NMVTs) about SNA devices on SNAX/XF primary lines.



CNM servers (CNMSRV) service requests from SNA hosts to gather

SNA-formatted configuration and statistical information (RECFMS, NMVTs) about

SNA devices on SNAX/XF primary lines.

The following SCF command adds a SNAX/XF APPL object for a CNM application that

performs all three CNM functions mentioned above:

ADD APPL $SSCP.#NETMGR

, APPLTYPE (CNMAPPL, CNMSERV, CONFIG)

, PASSWORD abcdef

You also must start the application; for example:

RUN CNMOBJ /OUT $S.#SPOOL, CPU 1, NAME $CNM1, NOWAIT/ 2

Notes.

1. The ESS entry PLUNAME maps to the last part of the SNAX/XF APPL name and the last

part of the SNAX Creator-2 SU name. With this configuration, PLUNAME values can be

different in SNAX Creator-2 and SNAX/XF.

2. In the SNAX Creator-2 configuration, each SU PLUNAME maps to the last part of an

APPL name, which provides the program name.

3. You must start the Creator process before configuring it; for example by a TACL command:

RUN CREOBJ /OUT $S.#SPOOL, CPU 1, NAME $CREA, NOWAIT/ 2 &

, CONFIG $DATA.SXCRE.CONDATA

For more information about SNAX Creator-2 RUN options and SCF configuration, see the

SNAX Creator-2 Configuration and Control Manual.

4. If only one ESS table is defined, LUNS uses this by default. Otherwise, you must specify

which ESS table to use in the ESSTABLE attribute of an ADD or ALTER LINE, PU, or LU

command.

5. You can allow dynamic modification of ESS tables by adding an APPL object representing

SNAXUTL:

ADD APPL $SSCP.#SNAXUTL, APPLTYPE LUNSAPPL, PASSWORD snaxutl

6. For more information about ESS tables, SET tables, and SNAXUTL, see the SNAX/XF

and SNAX/APN LU Network Services Manual .
