Edit Network Configuration Files (New Installs 
Only) 
You must edit several network configuration files on the DTACS server. You can 
edit these files using any text editor on the system connected to the DTACS server's 
serial management port.  
Note: You only need to complete this section if you are installing a new DTACS for 
the first time. If you are upgrading an existing DTACS, you can skip this section. 
Important: The list of files that you will edit and the changes you will make will 
vary based on your site's specific configuration needs. 
Contact your system administrator to obtain a list of files that you must edit along 
with the types of changes that are required for these files. For example, a typical list 
of files might include the following: 
 
/etc/rc2.d/S85SAspecial 
 
/etc/netmasks 
 
/etc/hosts 
 
/etc/hostname (network interface files) 
Note: When creating the /etc/hostname. files, the netmask should also be 
included.  For example, 
dtacs netmask 255.255.192.0
 
broadcast +
 
 
/etc/nodename 
 
/etc/defaultrouter 
 
/export/home/informix/etc/sqlhosts 
Note: You may need to add the following lines to the sqlhosts file: 
dtacsDbServer 
onipcstr 
dtacs  
on_serveripc 
dncsatmDbServer 
ontlitcp 
dncsatm 
informixOnline 
 
 
Editing Network Interface Files 
Network interface files will probably be on the list of files that must be edited. The 
network interface file names differ based on server type (T5220 or T5440). The 
following table lists network interface file names for each server. 
T5220 file Names 
T5440 File Names 
/etc/hostname.e1000g0 
/etc/hostname.nxge0 
/etc/hostname.e1000g1 
/etc/hostname.nxge1 
/etc/hostname.e1000g2 
/etc/hostname.nxge2
