Using the HP DTC Manager/UX

Before installing DTC Manager/UX

This chapter describes requirements that must be satisﬁed before DTC Manager/UX

can be installed.

Even though the product supports up to 4 LAN devices, it is recommended that all

LAN devices be located on a single LAN, lan0 (to facilitate the installation

procedure), and that DTC Manager/UX be located on this same LAN. DTC

Manager/UX is, however, compatible with other LAN devices that are connected to

the LAN by means of a bridge or hub.

Note DTC Manager/UX does not provide support for router-connected devices.

Hardware requirements

Ensure that you have the following:

• an HP 9000 Series 700 or 800

• LAN/9000 LINK hardware components including a minimum of one LAN

interface card (LANIC) and up to 4 LAN devices

• for an 800 system, a terminal connected to a MUX

• at least 20 Mbytes of free disk space for the DTC Manager/UX software

• additional disk space depending on the number of DTCs, the DTC types, and the

space you need for upload files

during troubleshooting

The upload ﬁles are located in the /var/opt/dtcmgr/upload directory. You

can save up to three upload ﬁles from each DTC. When three upload ﬁles have

been saved, DTC Manager/UX overwrites the ﬁrst one again. The disk space

needed is:

• 1 Mbyte for each upload file from a DTC 16 or DTC 48

• 3 Mbytes for each upload file from a DTC 16TN

• 5 Mbytes for each upload file from a DTC 72MX

1 Only upload DTC ﬁles if instructed to do so by an HP engineer.
