Procedures for Migrating

Applications to Parallel Library

TCP/IP

This section lists, at a high level, the steps for migrating your applications to Parallel

Library TCP/IP to familiarize you with the process. This section does not provide

complete instructions; use the TCP/IP (Parallel Library) Configuration and

Management Manual for subsystem configuration procedures.

Tasks for Starting Parallel Library TCP/IP

1. Before starting Parallel Library TCP/IP, save the system configuration database.

2. Start the Parallel Library TCP/IP either by using the persistence manager, by using

TACL commands, or by executing a startup command file.

Tasks for Migrating Your Environment

To migrate to an existing IP address from conventional TCP/IP to Parallel Library

TCP/IP, follow these steps:

1. Identify the IP address you want to use. Avoid migrating the IP address running

your home terminal.

a. Enter WHO at the TACL prompt:

b. Note the TELSERV process name associated with the Home Terminal.

(Just the portion following the dollar sign ($)).

Note. As of G06.14, you can install new Parallel Library TCP/IP SPRs on a processor-by-

processor basis, without taking down any of the processors. For information about this

procedure, see the TCP/IP (Parallel Library) Configuration and Management Manual.

Note. When planning to migrate to Parallel Library TCP/IP, ensure that any firewall products

that you use support gratuitous ARP packets.
