AIX SNA Services/6000 Configuration Profiles

AIX SNA Services/6000 configuration is done by defining a series of profiles. For detailed information about this process, see the guides Using AIX SNA Services/6000 and AIX SNA Services/6000 Reference. This appendix includes information about only those aspects of configuration particular to netutil.

Sample Configuration Profiles

The following excerpts provide examples of profiles suitable for running netutil. The format shown here is roughly the same as the output from the AIX SNA Services/6000 exportsna command. Comments (denoted by the symbol #) are included only for the purpose of explanation; these do not appear in the actual configuration files.

The configuration below reflects an environment using both dependent and independent LUs. Note that independent and dependent LUs can share the same ATTACHMENT, TPN, and REMOTETPN profiles. However, separate CONNECTION, LOCALLU, and MODE profiles must be provided for dependent and independent LUs respectively.

The following samples include profiles for independent and dependent CONNECTION, LOCALLU, and MODE LUs.
