How to Access Online Help
To access online help for the NonStop TCP/IPv6 subsystem, enter HELP at the SCF
command prompt, then enter TCPIPV6 at the SCF HELP prompt.
NonStop Kernel Subsystem and the System
Configuration Database
NonStop TCP/IPv6 participates in the system configuration database (CONFIG) used
by the persistence manager ($ZPM) in the NonStop Kernel subsystem. When you
configure the MON, ROUTE, SUBNET, and ENTRY objects, those objects are stored
in the system configuration database. If you also add the TCP6MAN process to the
system configuration database as a persistent, generic process, whenever you stop
the TCP6MAN or restart the system, the persistence manager restarts TCP6MAN
automatically and TCP6MAN then retrieves and starts the MON, ROUTE, SUBNET,
and ENTRY objects that are stored in the system configuration database. However, the
persistence manager does not start TCP6SAM processes so you must start those
manually. For information about how to add the TCP6MAN process as a generic
process and other details about managing the configuration database, see Managing
the System Configuration Database on page 6-14.
The ABORT MON Command for TCP6MAN on page 8-14 not only stops the monitors
in the subsystem but also deletes them from the system configuration database. The
DELETE ENTRY Command for TCP6MAN on page 8-59, DELETE ROUTE Command
for TCP6MAN on page 8-60, and DELETE SUBNET Command for TCP6MAN on
page 8-61, deletes these objects from the system configuration database. For an
example of these commands in a subsystem shutdown procedure, see Stopping
NonStop TCP/IPv6 and Preserving the Current Configuration on page 6-11.
