Using New Configuration File

The following steps summarize the procedure for configuring your HP 3000 systems to use DTC terminal servers if you are using a new network configuration file. For detailed information on these steps, refer to Chapter 5 “Configuring Serial Devices (for Host-Based Management)” and Chapter 6 “Configuring Serial Devices (for PC-Based Management)”

  1. Create your network configuration file NMCONFIG.PUB.SYS.

  2. Run NMMGR.PUB.SYS.

  3. Enter your HP 3000 node name, link name, and LANIC slot number.

  4. Define each DTC to be connected with the HP 3000.

  5. Configure each board in the DTC.

  6. Validate your network configuration. (SYSGEN cross-validation is done automatically within NMMGR.)

  7. Exit NMMGR.

  8. Perform a DTS shutdown and restart (or reboot your HP 3000).

Dynamic Configuration

You can also make many DTS changes dynamically without rebooting the system or performing a DTS shutdown/restart if you already have a valid network configuration file and there were no DCC errors reported during the last system reboot. These steps summarize the procedure for dynamically configuring DTS. Refer to Chapter 4 “Dynamic Configuration and DTS Shutdown/Restart” for more information on dynamic configuration. For detailed information on these steps, see Chapter 5 “Configuring Serial Devices (for Host-Based Management)” and Chapter 6 “Configuring Serial Devices (for PC-Based Management)”.

  1. Run NMMGR.PUB.SYS.

  2. Modify your existing DTS configuration as necessary.

  3. Validate your network configuration. (SYSGEN cross-validation is done automatically within NMMGR.)

  4. At the prompt seen after cross-validation is complete, select to have DTS changes take effect dynamically.

  5. Exit NMMGR.

  6. Complete any additional actions as appropriate (such as rebooting the DTC) for changes to become active.

Automatic Configuration

If you are using host-based management to manage your DTCs, you can also add and configure a new DTC automatically without needing to specify detailed configuration information such as DTC cards/boards and ldevs. This can be done either within the NMMGR utility or without running NMMGR. Refer to Chapter 3 “Automatic Configuration of DTCs”

NOTE: If you are using the HP OpenView DTC Manager on the PC to manage the DTCs, you must also configure the OpenView DTC Manager. For more information, refer to Using HP OpenView DTC Manager.
