About dtcdiag

The following commands can substitute for dtcdiag command options:

• dtcconnstat—obtains the status from selected ports

• dtcdownload—downloads EEPROM code to a LAN board

• dtcquickswitch—switches DTC management from one host to another

• dtcreset—resets a DTC, board, or port

• dtcstat—obtains the status of a DTC

• dtctest—tests a CPU/LAN board, or selected port

• dtctraceon—turns on extended trace on selected ports

• dtctraceoff—turns off extended trace on selected ports

• dtcupload—uploads a DTC, board, or port

The dtcping command is used as a troubleshooting tool to perform a connection

test. dtcping is similar to the networking ping command (refer to the dtcping man

page) and dtccheckip checks for duplicated IP addresses.

The dtcdiag command performs diagnostic tasks on DTCs managed by the host.

Tasks can be done on several objects. An object can be a selected DTC, a selected

DTC and board, or a selected port on a board. The objects must be all of the same

type.

The dtcdiag command is used for the following troubleshooting and maintenance

tasks:

• resetting ports, boards, and the DTC

• reporting the status of the DTC and ports as well as the version numbers of the

DTCs

• running the DTC or port self-tests

• uploading ports and the DTC

Resetting causes a download to occur on the DTC. The download software and

conﬁguration is sent to the DTC. An upload

is the transfer of information from the

DTC to the system.

1 Use these commands ONLY if instructed to do so by an HP engineer. Some of these commands

output data to a ﬁle which can be read only with special HP formatting tools.

2 Upload a DTC conﬁguration ONLY if instructed to do so by an HP engineer.
