Appendix D OS/2 to NT Conversion Before you proceed with an OS/2 to NT conversion, save the NCC database and all NCC images from the OS/2 computer. To determine which NCC version is installed in your system: From the main operator window, click MORE > SETUP > SYSTEM. The version number will display in the Serial section of the Title tab. If you are using NCC version 2.23.021 or higher: 1.
NCCNT-G and NCCNT-GL Installation and Operation Manual OPTION 2—Upgrading the OS/2 version of NCC to 2.23.021 if you do not have a CD-ROM drive on the NCC computer 1. Put the SBT, Inc. supplied CD-ROM in any windows computer with a CD-ROM drive. 2. Locate the directory \OS2\IMAGES. 3. Check the read.me file for instructions on creating floppy disks. 4. Install OS/2 NCC version 2.23.021 from the newly-created disks. 5. Restart the NCC. 6. From the main window, click MORE > SETUP > IMAGES.
Appendix E Event Reporting Special Cases - Pseudo Modules Special Case #1 Pseudo module 2 reports configuration errors on the primary XNET (MXL network). The device numbers associated with module 2 represent the XNET node that is in conflict with the NCC. NN:MMM-DDD identifies the source of the event uniquely as node NN, module MMM and then the device number, DDD (if applicable). Example 1: 02:100-3 Displays if MXL node number 2 has a NIM-1R addressed as 100 indicating that node number 3 is in trouble.
NCCNT-G and NCCNT-GL Installation and Operation Manual Special Case #3 The NCC uses pseudo modules and pseudo devices to generate events about conditions internal to the NCC. Pseudo module 1 reports NCC system wide trouble events. The following table describes the meaning of the individual pseudo devices on module 1. NCC M odule 1 Pseudo Devices Address 160 Funct ion 1 NCC local hard disk read / write failure 2 NCC logging printer problem. (off-line, paper out) 4 NCC network failure.
Appendix F Command Script Definition Guidelines The names of the core command set were chosen so that the first three letters of each name would be unique. You must type in enough characters to identify this unique name (i.e., EN is not enough since it matches both ENERGIZE and ENABLE). When you write a command script, it becomes part of the command set. Therefore, you must use enough letters so that core commands as well as any script names are uniquely identified.
