Performing an Automatic Configuration Outside NMMGR
Automatic configurationis done via a command file called DTCCNTRLwhich
allows you to manage DTS configurations. DTCCNTRL requires that you have
a minimum of Network Manager (NM) capability.
To perform an automatic configuration, you must still provide the DTC's
LAN address.Also, all serial ports configured via automatic configuration
using DTCCNTRL will be configured as nailed, direct connect terminal
ports using the terminal profile TR10AUTO. You can modify the default
profile characteristics associated with TR10AUTO using NMMGR, if needed,
to match your special requirements. If you want to change the profile,
run NMMGR first before invoking DTCCNTRL. Refer to Host-Based Terminal
Profiles table in chapter 7 for more information on TR10AUTO profile
characteristics.
You can only perform automatic configuration of new DTCs if you are
operating in a host-based management environment. In a PC-based
environment, DTCCNTRL will report an error when the command is invoked.
When automatic configuration is invoked, a default configuration is
created in the NMCONFIG.PUB.SYS file. The default configuration will be
saved with DTC name as DTCxxxx where "xxxx" is the last 4 digits of the
LAN address.
Follow the steps listed here to automatically add a DTC to DTS:
1. Turn the DTC's power on.
2. Invoke DTCCNTRL at the CI prompt either without specifying the
desired automatic configuration operation or by specifying it
using the syntax outlined below:
* Automatic configuration operation not specified:

3. The following prompt will appear:
****Make sure your DTC is turned on NOW****
Enter the DTC LAN address in the format of xx-xx-xx-xx-xx- xx or
press RETURN to exit:
First, make sure that the DTC's power has been turned on. Then,
enter the LAN addressof the DTC to be configured. The LAN address
can be found on a label inside the front cover or on the back
panel of the actual DTC box. Note that the LAN address is
different from the IP address which is discussed in step 5 below.
4. DTCCNTRL will create a default DTC node name structured as
DTCxxxx.domain.organization, where xxxx are the last four digits
of the DTC's LAN address and domain.organization are taken from
the host's node name.
At the prompt "The default DTC node name is
DTCxxxx.domain.organization. Press RETURN to continue or enter
the DTC node name to overwrite default:" press the [Return] key to
continue or enter a different DTC node nameto overwrite the
default.
5. At the prompt "Enter optional DTC IP address in the format of
n.n.n.n or press RETURN to continue:" enter the optional DTC IP
address or press the [Return] key to continue. The IP address is
used if your HP 3000 is configured as part of a network and you
want the DTC to be able to respond to PING/ iX requests.
6. The following will appear on the screen indicating successful DTC
automatic configuration:
DTCxxxx.domain.organization automatic configuration in
progress.....
(DTC download messages will appear here if you are at the system
console.)
DTCxxxx.domain.organization configured and downloaded
successfully.
All ports configured successfully.
