Using the HP DTC 16RX Manager

Adding a DTC

1 Type:

rdtcadd <dtcname> <DTC_IP_address> [-v DTC_code_version]

If you want to add the DTC with the latest (default) DTC code version, the

-v option is not mandatory.

DTC Manager displays the Rear Panel Conﬁguration screen for the newly

added DTC.

2 Use DTC Manager to enter appropriate DTC configuration parameters as

described in chapter 6.

3 Check if the DTC needs to be reprogrammed

• If the DTC unit’s code version is the same on the server (the code version

given for DTC_code_version with the rdtcadd command), there is no

need to reprogram the DTC.

• If the code versions are different, you must reprogram the DTC with the

rdtcreprog command as shown below:

rdtcreprog <dtc> -v <dtc_code_version>

Refer to chapter 18 for more information on this command.

If the DTC is on, it will request a conﬁguration download. If the DTC is off,

switch it on. Wait a few minutes for the conﬁguration to be downloaded.

The newly added DTC should now be operational.

4 Verify that the DTC is operational

Use the command rdtcstat <dtcname> to check the DTC’s status.

Adding DTC by copying an existing configuration

Follow the steps below to use an existing DTC conﬁguration to create a new DTC.

This will copy all of the parameters (except the DTC name, node name, and IP

address) and the DTC code version from another DTC conﬁguration.

Note The newly created (added) DTC will have the same DTC code version as the DTC

that you copy the configuration from. Be sure that the DTC unit runs the same code

version as the DTC you are copying from.
