Configuring Systems for Terminals, Printers, and Other Serial Devices
DTS Shutdown
The DTS shutdowncapability is provided by the DTCCNTRLcommand. It allows
you to bring down the entire DTS subsystem and includes the release of
all TIO-related system resources. DTCCNTRL requires that you have a
minimum of System Manager (SM) capability. This operation can only be
done from the system console.
When combined with the DTS restart capability discussed in the next
section, you can resolve errors that may arise during Datacomm
Configurator (DCC) start-up without rebooting the HP 3000 host. If you
see DCC error messages, first fix any problems that caused the DCC
startup error and then run DTCCNTRL to shut down and restart DTS. Refer
to appendix D for more information on DCC errors.
NOTE Issuing the DTCCNTRL command to perform a DTS shutdown will result
in the deletion of the entire DTS/TIO subsystem from the system.
No TIO users can use the system while it is shutdown.
When DTS shutdown is invoked, all devices that are configured by the DTS
subsystem are scanned and DOWNed. If any device is found that is logged
on, spooled or owned by any process then the shutdown will not continue
and all DOWNed devices are returned to the UP state. No active sessions
are owned devices are affected. If no owned or in use devices are found
then the shutdown will proceed to delete all DTS ldevs and release all
DTS resources.
If desired DTS shutdown can be invoked with the "forced" option. If the
"forced" options is specified, then any devices that are logged on,
spooled or owned by any process will be reset and the sessions aborted.
The "forced" option is specified on the command line when DTCCNTRL is
invoked. See the next section for the syntax used to invoke DTS
shutdown.
Performing a DTS Shutdown
To perform a DTS shutdown, type the DTCCNTRL command at the CI prompt
either without specifying the desired shutdown operation or by specifying
it using the syntax outlined below:
* DTS shutdown operation not specified:

* DTS shutdown operation specified:
:DTCCNTRL func=shutdown
or to invoke the "forced" option:
:DTCCNTRL func=shutdown, forced=y
CAUTION When the "forced" option is invoked, then all sessions logged on
to TIO devices will be aborted and all spooled TIO printers will
be stopped.
NOTE To dynamically configure DTS changes, refer to the "Dynamic
Configuration" section earlier in this chapter. To automatically
add/configure a host-based managed DTC to DTS without needing to
specify detailed configuration information such as DTC cards/boards
and ldevs, refer to chapter 3. To manage/dynamically configure
host-based X.25 links, refer to Configuring and Managing Host-Based
X.25 Links (36939-61004).
