Automatic configuration
is done via a command file called DTCCNTRL
which 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 “Terminal and Printer Profiles” 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:
Turn the DTC's power on.
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:
|
0 | exit |
1 | dynamically
implement DTS changes made in NMMGR |
2 | view status
of last DTS dynamic configuration |
3 | automatically
add a new DTC |
4 | shutdown
DTS subsystem |
5 | restart
DTS subsystem |
6 | manage/dynamically
configure host-based x.25 |
7 | |
| | |
For help on these topics, select 7 at the prompt below |
|
| | |
Select one of the numbers above corresponding to the desired operation: 3 |
|
Automatic configuration operation specified:
:DTCCNTRL func=autoconf
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 address of 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.
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 name to overwrite the default.
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.
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.
