Modifying configurations with dtcmodifyconfs

This chapter describes how to modify one or more DTC conﬁgurations in one

procedure with dtcmodifyconfs. This command can be used as an alternative to the

dtcconﬁg utility which only allows you to modify one DTC at a time.

About dtcmodifyconfs

With dtcmodifyconfs you can:

• modify DTC configurations that were created with dtcconﬁg

• copy data from one configuration and paste it into another (except

CPU/LAN or LAN board configurations)

• import/export entire configurations from/to a file

• own/disown the management of a DTC

• modify parameters with a script

Note The dtcmodifyconfs command can only be used to modify DTCs that already

exist—it cannot be used to create a DTC. Use the dtcconfig utility to create DTC

configurations.

The dtcmodifyconfs command enables you to modify one or more DTC

conﬁgurations by creating a shell script containing the desired parameter settings for

each DTC.

You must have superuser privileges. To execute dtcmodifyconfs commands, logon

as root or enter the su (superuser) command.

Note You can only run one of the following DTC Manager commands at a time:

dtcmodifyconfs (or synonym), dtcdiag (or synonym), dtcconfig, or dtcping. For

this reason only one user can configure and modify a DTC at a time.

Refer to the dtcmodifyconfs man pages for a complete description of command

options.
