Verifying Software Versions
Each data communications product consists of a variety of software
modules. Each module has an individual version number.
The software modules of all Hewlett-Packard data communications products
use a standard version stamp, with the following format:
v The version number of the software. This
corresponds to a major revision or a version for a
new or revised system environment.
u The update level of the software. This corresponds
to a significant revision in product functionality.
f The fix level of the software. This corresponds to
a new, supported revision of the software.
i The internal fix level of the software. This is
for differentiating special releases of software
that do not correspond to a normal release cycle.
A subsystem is a grouping of software modules. The software modules
within each subsystem usually have a common or similar function.
NS3000/iX is grouped into the following subsystems:
* The Network Services.
* Network transport.
* Node management services.
* Link support services.
* Node management configurator.
The vuuff version stamp fields of the software modules must be the same
for all configured software, but the internal fix iii fields may differ.
To Verify Version of Data Communications Software
Use the NMMAINT utility to display the individual and overall version
numbers for all software modules of NS3000/iX, SNA IMF, and SNA NRJE
Network Services, as well as the SNA and NS3000/iX network link products.
1. Enter the command:
RUN NMMAINT.PUB.SYS
2. If the version, update, and fix levels of these modules do not
match, the subsystem will not work correctly. Include the
information provided by NMMAINT in any service request (SR) you
submit to Hewlett-Packard. See appendix B for information about
submitting SRs.
To Verify Version of Network Transport Software
To display the version numbers of all of the software modules for the
network transport, use the MOD option of the NETCONTROL VERSION command
as shown below:
NETCONTROL VERSION=MOD
To Verify Version of Network Services Software
To display the version numbers of all of the software modules for the
Network Services, use the MOD option of the NSCONTROL VERSION command as
shown below:
NSCONTROL VERSION=MOD
