Performing an Automatic Configuration Inside NMMGR
Automatic configuration can also be performed by invoking the DTCCNTRL command file
inside the NMMGR utility. Refer to Chapter 5, “Configuring Serial Devices (for
Host-Based Management),” for detailed steps on the NMMGR DTS host-based
management configuration process. To automatically add and configure a DTC within
NMMGR, you must still provide the DTC’s LAN address. Also, as with performing an
automatic configuration outside NMMGR, all serial ports using DTCCNTRL will be
configured as nailed, direct connect terminal ports using the terminal profile TR10AUTO.
NOTE You can only perform automatic configuration of new DTCs if you are operating in a
host-based management environment. In a PC-based management environment,
NMMGR will report an error if the automatic configuration is invoked.
Step 1: Use Valid Configuration File
You must first already have a valid network configuration file and your HP e3000 must
not have experienced any Datacommunication Configurator (DCC) errors during the last
reboot. Refer to Appendix E, “Error Messages,” for more information on DCC error
messages.
