Hi there,
I do not know if this is the right list to post this, but I'm trying
anything for help.
I have got a very urgent situation.
I am trying to have a configuration like -
VTAM1 - NCP1 - NCP2
NCP1 is loaded in a channel attached 3745. NCP2 will be on a link attached
3745.
In the NCP generation and loading guide the following is stated:
You can perform a remote initial load over a TSS or HPTSS SDLC link or
over a nonswitched X.21 link if the remote communication controller has
the remote IPL ports defined. The remote initial load can transfer the
NCP or PEP load module from the host, activate it, and save it on the
remote hard disk. There is a minimum release requirement of NCP V4R2 with
VTAM V3R2 in order to save the module to the remote hard disk.

In addition to everything Mark has given you, you need to tell VTAM to
load the NCP. When you active the remote NCP you need to do:
V NET,ACT,ID=NCP2,LOAD=YES
Once the NCP is done loading, the PU definition representing it in NCP1
should show active, NCP2 should show active and the PU representing NCP1
in NCP2 should show active.
I would also suggest that after you get it loaded, you store it on the
remote NCP's hard disk. This way if there is a power failure you can
reload it from the hard disk and it takes much less time than loading
over the WAN everytime. In fact once you get it up, you can pre-load new
NCP's to the hard disk and load from there. Then the NCP outage is only
a matter of a few minutes (3-5). I had a remote NCP on a 9.6 Kbps link,
it took 20-30 minutes to transfer. Depending on the size of your NCP
load module it may take 10-15 to transfer and then another 3-5 to load,
that a 20 minute network outage.
