Configuring an X25AM Subsystem

When configuring the X25AM subsystem for Integrity NonStop NS-series or

NonStop S-series servers, note that:

•

For systems running G-series and H-series RVUs, controllers are not supported.

The ServerNet wide area network (SWAN) concentrator provides access to the

WAN subsystem. .

•

The System Generation (SYSGEN) program is not used for NonStop NS-series or

NonStop S-series servers. All configuring and monitoring of the X25AM subsystem

is done using Subsystem Control Facility (SCF) commands to the WAN and

X25AM subsystems.

You use SCF commands to the WAN subsystem to define and start one or

more X25AM I/O processes. The WAN subsystem must be started before you

attempt to configure X25AM I/O processes.

You use SCF commands to the X25AM subsystem to define subdevices and to

start, stop, and monitor lines and subdevices. The SCF commands to the

X25AM subsystem are described in Section 4, SCF Commands for the X25AM

Subsystem, and Section 5, Attribute Descriptions.

•

The HP Nonstop operating system registered Type and Subtype for the X25AM

Subsystem are 61 and 63, respectively.

For information about configuring a SWAN concentrator or starting the WAN

subsystem, see the WAN Subsystem Configuration and Management Manual.

SCF Interface to the WAN and X25AM

Subsystems

SCF provides an operator interface to the Subsystem Control Point (SCP). The default

SCP process is known to the system as $ZNET. SCP, in turn, interfaces to the X25AM

subsystem’s operations and services as well as to the WAN subsystem. Figure 3-1 on

page 3-2 shows the SCF interface to the X25AM subsystem.

Note. To configure one or more SWAN concentrators, you can use WAN Wizard Pro as

an alternative to using multiple SCF commands. WAN Wizard Pro is a graphical user

interface (GUI) that guides you step-by-step through the configuration process. To access

WAN Wizard Pro, from the desktop of your NonStop server system console select:

Start>Programs>HP WAN Wizard Pro>WAN Wizard Pro
