This chapter introduces you to the Node Management Services Utilities for MPE/iX systems. These programs, installed on your HP 3000 Series 900 system as part of the fundamental operating system (FOS), allow you to perform various functions related to the configuration of networking and terminal communications.

A brief overview of each of the following is provided in this chapter:

• The Node Management Configuration Manager (NMMGR), used to create or modify configuration and network directory files for a system.

• NMMAINT, used to list individual modules and version numbers of networking software

• NMDUMP, used to format log and trace files.

• NMMGRVER, used to upgrade a configuration file for use with a later version of the operating system.

• NMMGRVAL, used to check if the configuration file has been validated.
