Managing DTC configuration files
The following section contain information on how to manage DTC configuration
files.
Automatic protection of configuration files
An automatic lock feature protects the integrity of the DTCs new data. The lock
mechanism becomes effective when you run update in HP-UX 9.x, swinstall in
HP-UX 10.x, or when a new DTC is added. All DTCs remain operational. However,
certain DTC management and configuration functions are temporarily disabled until
the related DTC is reset (rebooted).
Automatic backup of DTC Manager files
If there is a previous version of DTC Manager software installed on your system, a
special script file will create a backup copy of the old version when you run the
update or swinstall utility. Complete details of the software installation are
recorded in the update.log file in HP-UX 9.x or the swagent.log file in
HP-UX 10.x.
Automatic upgrade of DTC configuration files
You do not have to reconfigure each DTC after upgrading to a new version of
DTC Manager/UX. The DTC configuration files created by older versions are
automatically converted by a utility when you use the command update in
HP-UX 9.x or swinstall in HP-UX 10.x.
Complete details of the procedure for HP-UX 9.x are recorded in the files
/tmp/update.log and /usr/adm/dtcupgrade.log.
Complete details of the procedure for HP-UX 10.x are recorded in the files
/usr/adm/sw/swagent.log and /var/opt/dtcmgr/log/dtcupgrade.log.
