6. The Host Migration tool will copy the profile name from the TIO ports and PAD
devices in the PC-based DTC to the corresponding port in the Host-based DTC. The
profile data itself WILL NOT be copied from the PC-based to the host-based
configuration.
7. When the migration process is completed, it is likely you will need to do some
manual changes to the resulting configuration file to create a valid DTS
configuration and to reapply some customizations. The types of customizations
include:
• Define additional profiles to assign unique port parameters.
• If there were profile names that were copied from DTC ports of the PC-based
DTC configurations and those profiles DO NOT exist in the host-based profile
tree, you will need to create the profiles.
• If there were profile names that were copied from DTC ports of the PC-based
DTC configurations, and those profiles DO exist in the Host-based tree, you MAY
need to modify the profiles to match the DTC ports or to reapply any
customizations you may have made to the profiles in the PC-based profiles.
• Complete the configuration of the TIO and PAD devices if a DTC with the same
DTC Node Name was not configured in the PC tree or corresponding devices
were not configured on the PC–Based DTC.
• Create the Global PAD Security Lists which consist of the Node Names List and
the Access Lists.
Limitations
The migration process has the following limitations. When the Host Migration tool is
run, the result could leave the following discrepancies in the NMCONFIG file that you
must correct to have a valid configuration. When the Host Migration tool is run, there
will be error messages displayed that indicate the nature of the error.
1. When the migration process is completed, the resulting configuration file may not
successfully validate. You must manually correct any configuration discrepancies
found.
2. If the PC Migration tool created a DTC in the Host-based tree that does not exist in
the PC-Based tree (a DTC with a matching DTC Node Name was not found), the TIO
ports will be left with the ldev assigned as (-1). This is an invalid ldev number for
TIO printers and will be detected by Validation. You must manually correct the
configuration.
3. If the PC Migration tool created a DTC in the Host-based tree that does not exist in
the PC-Based tree (a DTC with a matching DTC Node Name was not found), any
PAD devices will be assigned ldev of 1. This is an invalid ldev number for PAD
devices and will be detected by Validation. You must manually correct the
configuration.
