Copy dtc configuration

[Travis Paakki_1]

I am building a new server to replace an older one, however the plan is to shutdown the old one, drop the newer one into place and use the older dtc. Can anyone tell me how I can copy the dtc configuration between two servers?

Thanks

I assume that this is not the only configuration you are moving, so I'll also assume that the means of transferring files has already been determined. That said, the dtc configuration files are stored in /etc/opt/dtcmgr. The dtc manager programs are stored in /opt/dtcmgr/sbin. For your own server's unique setup, I would suggest examining the init.d and .profile scripts to see if any other configuration files are explicitly specified (for example, remote printer daemons).

If you have the exact same HPUX systems, with the exact same dtc manager software, then you could copy the configuration files from /var/opt/dtc to the new system. Then use the "dtcquickswitch" command to switch control of the dtc over to the new server.

The alternative is to extract the detail information on the dtc configuration (use dtclist) and generate scripts to rebuild the configuration. You must add the dtc as a new configuration on the new server, then using "dtcmodifyconf" you can make the necessary "port" configurations.
