Using dtcmodifyconfs

Controlling DTC ownership

-o (Synonym: dtcown) Takes over the ownership (management) of a speciﬁed DTC.

Sets the owner ﬁeld in the map802 ﬁle to TRUE. This should be done only when

the previous manager of that DTC has failed, or has voluntarily disowned the DTC

using the -d option.

-d (Synonym: dtcdisown) Gives up the ownership (management) of a speciﬁed DTC.

Sets the owner ﬁeld in the map802 ﬁle to FALSE.

Using the script options

You can use the script options to specify parameters to be modiﬁed. There are two

forms of scripts:

• a command-line script: specifies modification at the command line

• a script files: these contain the parameters that define the modifications

Note Only CPU/LAN boards, LAN boards, or ports can be selected as

dtcobjects

for

use with the script options.

Modify parameters option

-m Used to specify which parameters to modify for given dtcobjects

The

parameters can be given on the command line or in a user-deﬁned scriptfile. In

both cases, each parameter is speciﬁed with single quotes.

Command-line scripts

-e “script” Executes a command-line script. Modiﬁcations to the DTC conﬁguration are

contained in the command-line script. The script can be speciﬁed in single or

double quotes.

Example

This example shows how a command-line script is used to modify the DTC User

Prompt on the DTC named dtc1.

dtcmodifyconfs -m -e 'User Prompt=”Hello>>";' dtc1
