Configuring Systems for Terminals, Printers, and Other Serial Devices (32022-90057)

17
Configuration Overview
Using New
Configuration File
The following steps summarize the procedure for configuring your H P3000 systems to
use DTC terminal servers if you are using a new network configuration file. For detailed
information on these steps, refer to Chapter 5, “Configuring Serial Devices (for
Host-Based Management),” and Chapter 6, “Configuring Serial Devices (for PC-Based
Management).”
1. Create your network configuration file NMCONFIG.PUB.SYS.
2. Run NMMGR.PUB.SYS.
3. Enter your HP e3000 node name, link name, and LANIC slot number.
4. Define each DTC to be connected with the HP e3000.
5. Configure each board in the DTC.
6. Validate your network configuration. (SYSGEN cross-validation is done
automatically within NMMGR.)
7. Exit NMMGR.
8. Perform a DTS shutdown and restart (or reboot your HP e3000).
Dynamic
Configuration
You can also make many DTS changes dynamically without rebooting the system or
performing a DTS shutdown/restart if you already have a valid network configuration
file and there were no DCC errors reported during the last system reboot. These steps
summarize the procedure for dynamically configuring DTS. Refer to Chapter 4,
“Dynamic Configuration and DTS Shutdown/Restart,” for more information on dynamic
configuration. For detailed information on these steps, see Chapter 5, “Configuring
Serial Devices (for Host-Based Management),” and Chapter 6, “Configuring Serial
Devices (for PC-Based Management).”.
1. Run NMMGR.PUB.SYS.
2. Modify your existing DTS configuration as necessary.
3. Validate your network configuration. (SYSGEN cross-validation is done
automatically within NMMGR.)
4. At the prompt seen after cross-validation is complete, select to have DTS changes
take effect dynamically.
5. Exit NMMGR.
6. Complete any additional actions as appropriate (such as rebooting the DTC) for
changes to become active.
Automatic
Configuration
If you are using host-based management to manage your DTCs, you can also add and
configure a new DTC automatically without needing to specify detailed configuration
information such as DTC cards/boards and ldevs. This can be done either within the
NMMGR utility or without running NMMGR. Refer to Chapter 3, “Automatic
Configuration of DTCs.”
NOTE If you are using the HP OpenView DTC Manager on the PC to manage the DTCs, you
must also configure the OpenView DTC Manager. For more information, refer to Using
HP OpenView DTC Manager.
