Information You Need Before Installing MPE/iX 7.5 PowerPatch 2
Host-Based DTC Management Features
Host-Based DTC Management Features
As you may be aware, the Open View DTC Manager (OVDTCMgr) application on the PC was discontinued
October 2002. In MPE/iX 7.5 Power Patch 2, the DTS subsystem has been enhanced to provide functionality
needed to continue support of the DTC connectivity required by the HP e3000 users. The features added to
the DTS subsystem had previously been available when the OVDTCMgr platform managed the DTCs and
PC-Based Management was configured on the HPe3000, but not when the HP e3000 host managed the DTCs
and Host-Based Management was configured.
These enhancements required changes to the data structures for the DTS subsystem in the NMCONFIG file
and some NMMGR screens. These enhancements have been designed to minimize the additional steps you
need to do to install and migrate to this release. This article describes some features and behaviors of this
version of the DTS subsystem that you should know about before you install this release. These important
features and behaviors are the following:
•
Although it is now an unsupported configuration, the OVDTCMgr platform will still be able to manage
the DTCs for connection to the HP e3000. HP recommends that you migrate your DTS configuration to
Host-Based management at the earliest opportunity.
•
When you reboot your system after updating with this release, DTS will recognize that the data in the
DTS subsystem of the NMCONFIG file is in the old format but will still create a valid DTS configuration.
DCC will display the following warning message.
DCC WARNING P-L, NMCONFIG is previous version. Run NMMGRVER. (DCCWARN 52)
The DTS configuration created will be identical to what was created prior to the update.
•
In NMMGR, if you press the [DTS] key at the Main screen and attempt to display the DTS configuration
before running NMMGRVER, instead of going to the DTS configuration screen, you will see a screen that
informs you that the DTS subsystem has been updated. The actions you can take are described later in
this article.
•
You will use the version of NMMGRVER installed with this release to update the NMCONFIG file to the latest
format and then perform a DTS Shutdown and Restart.
•
Afte r usin g NMMGRVER to migrate the configuration file to the latest format, DTS Dynamic Configuration
will be disabled until a DTS Shutdown and Restart or system reboot is performed.
Use one of the following two processes described below to update the NMCONFIG file so that NMMGR will allow
you to make new changes to the DTS configuration and to re-enable DTS Dynamic Configuration.
1. Run NMMGRVER from the Command Interpreter.
You can run NMMGRVER from the CI as you have on earlier releases to update the format of the NMCONFIG
file:
a.
Run NMMGRVER to update the NMCONFIG file to the latest format:
:run nmmgrver.pub.sys
Utility to convert NM configuration files to be compatible with NMMGR B.07.06.
Fileset to be scanned? NMCONFIG.PUB.SYS
(Enter the file name of your NM configuration file. Then confirm the conversion.)
OK to convert NMCONFIG.PUB.SYS? Y
b.
Perform a DTS Shutdown and Restart:
:dtccntrl func=shutdown forced=y
:dtccntrl func=restart
2. Run NMMGRVER from within NMMGR.
