SYSTEM.NETID(5,F)           AIX Technical Reference           SYSTEM.NETID(5,F)



-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
System.Netid



PURPOSE

Describes RSCS connection information for AIX/370.

DESCRIPTION

The /etc/System.Netid file describes the connection between an AIX/370 guest
and the RSCS mail and file transfer guest on the same VM host.  RSCS is
responsible for transmitting files or mail across a VM network or to the target
guest machine on the same VM host.

Each AIX/370 system in a TCF cluster will maintain its own copy of this file.
/etc/System.Netid is established as a symbolic link to <LOCAL>/System.Netid.

Lines of the file beginning with a "#" (pound sign) are treated as comments and
are ignored.  The rest of the file should consist of a single line with the six
fields listed below; fields must be separated from one another by single
spaces.

VM-nodeid  AIX/370-guest  AIX/370-Nodeid  RSCS-Userid  Class  Hold_class

Where:

VM-nodeid       Is the the node ID of the local VM system.

AIX/370-guest   Is the user ID of the AIX/370 guest virtual machine.  This
                should be the site name of the AIX/370 virtual machine.

AIX/370-Nodeid  Is the node ID used to identify this AIX/370 system to the RSCS
                network.  This should also be the site name of the AIX/370
                virtual machine.

RSCS-Userid     Is the user ID of the RSCS virtual machine used for network
                control.  This is usually RSCS or NET.  Consult your VM
                administrator for assistance.

Class           Is the CP spool class used to mark files for this AIX/370
                System.  Class A is often chosen as the spool class for
                AIX/370.

Hold_class      Is the CP spool class used to mark files put on temporary hold
                by the rdrdaemon command.  Class B is often chosen as the hold
                spool class for AIX/370.

The following is an example of a System.Netid file for the AIX/370 machine
"AIX370" on VM with the node ID "ABCVM1":

       ABCVM1 AIX370 AIX370 RSCS A B

Files which cannot be delivered due to temporary conditions (for example, if
the user's $HOME/netfile directory is unavailable) are put in a 'hold' state
and delivery is retried approximately every 30 minutes.  The values chosen for
the Class and Hold_class fields must be different.
