Transferring DTC configurations to an adoptive host
12
Copying the configuration files to the adoptive host
Use ftp (in binary mode) to copy the configuration (dtcname.exim) files to the
/var/opt/dtcmgr directory on the adoptive host system.
Example
If you are working at a terminal attached to the original host and you want to use
ftp to copy the configuration files for dtc1 and dtc2 to an adoptive host system
called new_host, you could use the following command sequence:
cd /var/opt/dtcmgr
ftp new_host
binary
cd var/opt/dtcmgr
put dtc1.exim
put dtc2.exim
Importing the DTC configurations
On the adoptive host
1 Log in as superuser.
2 Import each DTC configuration to the host by entering:
dtcimport dtcname
for each DTC.
Example
To import the configuration of dtc1 you would enter:
dtcimport dtc1
Verifying that the DTCs can be owned by the adoptive host
To be sure that the adoptive host can manage the DTC(s), you should verify that it
can receive boot requests from the DTCs that it will manage (own) in the event of
original host failure.
Note This is essential, especially if the LAN device file names are not the same on all
adoptive host nodes in the MC/ServiceGuard cluster.
