SET PATHWAY Command
NODEINDEPENDENT [ON | OFF]
designates whether unspecified node names in Guardian file names resolve to the
node name \*, a generic name that designates whatever node the PATHMON
process is running on after cool start.
If you omit this attribute, the default is OFF.
ON
specifies \* as the default node name when the node name is left unspecified in
Guardian file names defined during the current PATHCOM session and all
subsequent PATHCOM sessions.
Guardian file names with unspecified node names are stored in the PATHMON
configuration file using \* as the node name.
OFF
allows Guardian file names with unspecified node names to resolve to the
node name specified by the CMDVOL command, or, if the CMDVOL is omitted,
to the node of the user who started PATHCOM. For more details on the
CMDVOL command, see Section 10, PATHCOM Operation Commands.
You can explicitly designate node-independence for any PATHMON-controlled
object by specifying \* for the node name when you define the object. However,
setting NODEINDEPENDENT to ON and then leaving out the node name when
you configure an object is a simpler and more comprehensive way to accomplish
node independence.
PATHCOM checks the NODEINDEPENDENT attribute when it opens the
PATHMON process. If you want to take full advantage of the node-independence
feature, set NODEINDEPENDENT to ON early in your PATHMON configuration
session. Once set, the attribute applies to all subsequent SET commands. The
setting has no effect on previously specified SET commands.
Following are the file names that can be qualified by a node name when
configuring a PATHMON environment. These names are designated as node-
independent when the NODEINDEPENDENT attribute is set to ON.
