Resets the hardware of a particular DTC or group of DTCs.

Security level: 1.

Syntax

DT[C] dtcnums

Parameter

dtcnums

The DTC number TermDSM associates with a particular DTC. The DTC command lists each DTC with its assigned DTC number.

You may also reset multiple DTCs with one RESET DTC command. The first command below resets DTC 3, 5, and 9. The second command resets DTCs 4 through 15, inclusive. These two commands are typed at the RESET subcommand prompt.

     DTC 3, 5, 9
     DTC 4/15

Description

After entering the DTC subcommand, the following is printed on the terminal:

     Warning: This will reset all users on that DTC. (TDSM 44)      Do you want to continue (yes/no)? 

If you answer no to this question, you will be returned to the reset prompt. If you answer yes, the reset continues and the following messages are displayed:

     The reset operation can take as long as 7 minutes.

The reset operation causes a DTC selftest to occur.

The DTC subcommand causes a complete DTC selftest to be run. This selftest includes the selftests for each of the interface cards within the DTC. All jobs or sessions that are running on devices connected to the DTC are aborted.

NOTE: The RESET DTC subcommand for a single DTC is functionally identical to the SELFTEST DTC subcommand of the TermDSM DIAG command. The inclusion of both commands is for your convenience.

If the selftest completes successfully, the results of each of the card selftests will be displayed. Refer to the SIC subcommand for the explanation of these results.

The DTC software is then downloaded to the DTC so that users may again use devices connected to the DTC. If you are running TermDSM at the system console, you will receive informational messages relating to this download.

You will then be returned to the reset prompt and may enter another RESET subcommand.
