A set of host-based utilities are offered to assist in management of the DT-6x6x family and the DT-7000.
1.1 M ECHANIZING B ACKUP AND R ETRIEVE
This set of utilities allows the mechanization of the backup and retrieve/reload processes. They are
called DT6backup and DT6reload respectively for the DT-6061, DT-6160, and DT-6260 family of
products (DT-6XXX) and DT7backup and DT7reload for the DT-7000.
The backup and reload utilities use the back and retrieve commands respectively, and hence can be
used also with any release of DT-6XXX or DT-7000 platform software.
1.2 B YPASSING FTP AND E XECUTING U PGRADES F ROM A R EMOTE S ERVER
The new server active option (-sa) in this set of utilities allows the backup and retrieve/reload processes
to be executed without an FTP connection from the DT-6XXX or DT-7000 to the server. In addition, a
new utility, DT6upgrade, allows installing new software on the DT-6X6X products. The –sa option must
be used when running DT6upgrade. These features require the DT-6XXX, to be running one of these
releases or higher of the platform software:
Product Release
DT-6061 Build 17.1
DT-6160, DT-6260 Build 2.1
Table 1: Minimum Platform Software Level
These capabilities are not available yet for DT-7000.
1.3 S UPPORT H OSTS
The DT6backup, DT6reload, DT7backup, DT7reload, and DT6upgrade utilities run on a support host
with the UNIX
®
-based HP-UX
®
or Solaris
®
operating systems (OS). These programs connect to DT-
6061, DT-6160, DT-6260, and DT-7000 serial consoles through either:
1. A BNS/Datakit
®
II VCS network where the serial console port of a product is connected to an
asynchronous port such as a TY12, SAM, or DT-4000 used as a SAM. The support host is
connected to the BNS/Datakit network via CommKit or IP-CommKit
™
Host Interface software.
