Using the HP DTC Manager/UX

Adding DTCs

This chapter describes how to add one or more DTCs to the set of DTCs managed

by DTC Manager/UX.

Note 150 is the maximum number of manageable DTCs.

Note The instructions in this chapter presume that DTC Manager/UX is already properly

installed and that you are familiar with the basic use of the dtcconfig menus and

function keys as described in chapter 4.

Procedure overview

When a DTC is added, a basic conﬁguration is created on the management system.

This initial conﬁguration is created according to the user-deﬁned DTC default

parameters.

DTC parameters are initially set to HP factory-deﬁned default values. If you need to

modify these values you can use the dtcconﬁg utility’s Modify DTC Conﬁguration

option to do so.

Refer to chapter 9 if you want to set your own default parameters.

Before the DTC begins a download process, it communicates its hardware

conﬁguration to the management platform. The DTC Manager/UX uses this

information to automatically update its system image of the DTC. Physical settings

in the DTC conﬁguration, such as added or deleted boards, as well as whether a port

group is modem or direct are reported to the DTC Manager/UX. All hardware

changes are automatically made to your DTCs.
