Anuradha Please make sure you have NODETYPE=EN in your VTAM start options. This is checked when VTAM starts, together with a check that STRMNPS is *not* NONE, prior to trying to connect to the specified structure in order to initialise the MNPS function.
While we are checking your start options, you should make sure that HPR specifies RTP. Note, however, that RTP is the default value when NODETYPE=EN. (HPR=RTP is also the default when NODETYPE=NN but we've already established that NODETYPE must specify EN). In addition to getting help from Chapter 16 of the “Parallel Sysplex Operational Scenarios” redbook, you should also become familiar with Chapter 4, “Multinode Persisten Sessions” of the “VTAM V4R4 for MVS/ESA Implementation Guide” redbook, SG24-2100-00: http://publib-b.boulder.ibm.com/abstracts/sg242100.html If you still have a problem, please post again.

ISTMNPS is unavailable for the VTAM to connect. I am wondering why...
