Using the CNM utility functions

This section describes the procedure to use the various functions of the CNM utility.

Selecting a specific coprocessor
The procedure to choose a coprocessor from the multiple coprocessors available on the system.
Initializing the node
The procedure to initialize the CCA node to its initial state.
Logging on and logging off the node
A user must log on to the coprocessor in order to activate a user profile and the associated role. This is the only way to use a role other than the default role.
Loading the function-control vector
The procedure to load the coprocessor FCV.
Configuring the CCA Node Management utility
The procedure to configure the default values for the CNM utility.
Synchronizing the clock and calendars
The procedure to synchronize the clock and calendars within the coprocessor and the host computer.
Obtaining status information of the CCA application
You can use the CNM utility coprocessor to obtain the status of the CCA application.
