{{dcmarea{-m multinode-area-identifier|-g multinode-subarea-identifier} -w node-identifier[,node-identifier]...}}

The dcmarea command defines the configuration of OpenTP1 nodes that belong to the same multinode area or subarea.

The following operations cannot be done during an online session:

• Setting a multinode area or subarea
• Adding or deleting OpenTP1 nodes to or from a multinode area or subarea
  The prerequisites described below must be observed. If they are not satisfied, the result of any multinode function is not assured.
  Prerequisites:
  
  • Only one multinode area identifier can be specified.
  • The maximum number of OpenTP1 nodes belonging to a multinode area is 128.
  • If more than one command is specified for the same multinode area (or subarea), they are logically ORed.
  • The node identifier must be the same as that specified by the system common definition.
  • If the host and the host name correspond one-to-one and the host is placed in the multi-OpenTP1 system, each OpenTP1 node of the host belongs to the multinode area or subarea.
  • Any OpenTP1 node belonging to a multinode subarea belongs to a multinode area.
  • The multinode configuration definition must contain the configuration of all multinode subareas.
  • The multinode configuration definition of all OpenTP1 node making up a multinode area or subarea must coincide with each other.

-m multinode-area-identifier~<1-8 character identifier>

Specify the multinode area identifier.

-g multinode-subarea-identifier~<1-8 character identifier>

Specify the multinode subarea identifier.

-w node-identifier[,node-identifier]~<4-character identifier>

Specify the node identifier of an OpenTP1 node that belongs to a multinode area or subarea. It must be a node identifier specified in the system common definition of each OpenTP1 node.
