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.
NS 3000/iX is grouped into the following subsystems:
Node management 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 NS 3000/iX, SNA IMF, and SNA NRJE
Network Services, as well as the SNA and NS 3000/iX network
link products.
Enter the command:
RUN NMMAINT.PUB.SYS
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 “Submitting an SR ” 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:
NSCONTROL VERSION=MOD
