Procedure

Start

  1. Log on to AIX as root, if you are not logged on already.
  2. Starting Communications Server automatically: Type the following command, then press Enter:
    lsitab sna
  3. If the sna line is not found, type the following command, then press Enter:
    mkitab "sna:2:wait:/etc/rc.sna > /dev/console 2>&1 #start   SNA Daemons"

    (There is one blank space between rc.sna and >, and one blank space after >.)

  4. Edit the /etc/rc.sna file.
  5. Find the line that reads #/usr/bin/snaadmin init_node, and remove the # (which is a comment indicator).
  6. Starting all link stations automatically : Ensure that Activation has been set to On Node Startup (see Defining a link station using SNA).

    Alternatively, add the following line to the file:

    /usr/bin/snaadmin start_ls, ls_name=link_station_name
  7. Save the file.
  8. Shut down the AIX system using the shutdown -Fr command and restart it to make the changes take effect.
