Move DTC config. of DTC Manager from old version to new version

[Anthony Yau]

I have a DTC Manager of version A.14.4A.020 on HP-UX 10.20 and want to move all DTC config. to version A.14.4J.000 on HP-UX 11.00 on another machine.
When I used dtcexport/dtcimport, the new version can't import the image export from the old version. What can I do?

Hi Anthony,

I did this few days ago.
On HP-UX 10.20 server do:
1. dtcexport
2. Copy /var/opt/dtcmgr/dtc_name.exim to HP-UX 11.00 Server in /var/opt/dtcmgr directory.

3. dtcdisown


On HP-UX 11.00 Server:
1. dtcimport
You will see a error message. Do not stop!
2. dtcown
3. Turn the DTC off and then on ( Power reset ) and wait until you see the proper code on the DTC's LED (one with a flashing dot).
4. Try if you can manage DTC:

dtcstat

HTH!

It doesn't work!
The error messag shown as below when import the file so dtcown doesn't work.
"Error: <11004> : Can not import from an improper Exim file.e"
I think two versions are not compatible in the export image.

Sorry!
I missed the main :-(

First step is to update the DTC Manager version on HP-UX 10.20 servers to A.14.4C.020 (J2120B).

If you want to manage DTCs from here you must restart each DTC (turn off and on).
Then follow the steps above.

Do I need to install an upgrade version or the one in the Applications CD? Also is it safe to install it on the old version?
I don't have version A.14.4A.020 install CD and only have version A.14.4C.020 and A.14.4J.000 on hand. So it will be a big problem if it doesn't work after upgraded. Since I have tried to export from A.14.4A.020 to A.14.4C.020 and I got the same error message.

Version A.14.4C.020 is OK.
Mark it for install. SD/UX detects that there is an older version of the same software and performs update. You can see this by clicking on "Product Description" button after finishing the analysis.
I had no problems with this version, so go ahead!
