Stopping NonStop TCP/IPv6
b. For an IPv6 address, NonStop TCP/IPv6 goes to IPNODES and looks for the
address.
To cause the socket library to use DNS, delete the TCPIP^HOST^FILE DEFINE.
Adding or deleting a DEFINE for the IPNODES file does not affect whether the socket
library uses DNS.
You have the option of overriding system defines for the HOSTS file by using this
PARAM:
PARAM TCPIP^RESOLVER^ORDER value
where value is one of:
DNSONLY
causes the socket library only to query the DNS.
HOSTFILEONLY
causes the socket library only to search the HOSTS file.
DNS-HOSTFILE
causes the socket library to query the DNS and if the host name is not found,
to search the HOSTS file.
HOSTFILE-DNS
causes the socket library to search the HOSTS file and if the host name is not
found, to query the DNS.
This PARAM takes precedence over the HOSTS DEFINE. The PARAM name and
value are not case-sensitive.
If there are no DEFINEs or PARAMs in effect for that process, the socket library goes
to DNS. If the doc find the address there, it goes to the IPNODES file.
Stopping NonStop TCP/IPv6
Use TSM or OSM to perform these tasks. As TSM and OSM use conventional TCP/IP,
you need not shut down your operating environment. If you use TSM or OSM, you can
skip the Task 2 in the procedures Preparing to Stop the NonStop TCP/IPv6 Subsystem
on page 6-8.
After completing the procedure Preparing to Stop the NonStop TCP/IPv6 Subsystem
on page 6-8, select one of the two procedures for stopping the subsystem:

Stopping NonStop TCP/IPv6 and Preserving the Current Configuration on
page 6-11
Use this procedure if you want to stop the subsystem and restart it using the same
configuration.
