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.
