Starting L&TT
To start L&TT:
•
For HP-UX (pre-11i v3), Tru64, and Linux:
Log on as root and execute the following commands:
cd /opt/ltt
./hp_ltt
•
For HP-UX 11i v3:
HP-UX 11i v3 provides a new agile addressing format, which can be seen by executing
ioscan -fN
and supports both persistent (new) and legacy Device Special Files (DSFs). Start
L&TT with the -N option to use the new agile addressing format.
Log on as root and execute the following commands:
cd /opt/ltt
For the agile addressing format and persistent DSFs: ./hp_ltt -N
For the legacy addressing format and legacy DSFs: ./hp_ltt
•
For HP VMS:
Log on as system or an ALL privileged user and execute the command
@LTT$ROOT:[000000]start_ltt.com
•
For Mac OS:
Bring up the terminal. Change the working directory to /usr/local/HP/LTT and initialize
L&TT by running the command ./hp_ltt.
Alternatively running the command hp_ltt would also initialize L&TT from any working
directory.
Navigating the screens
•
The top line of each screen displays the current screen name in hierarchical format.
•
Each level of screens is separated by the “>” character.
•
On each screen, some of the available commands take you to a lower level in the hierarchy.
To move back to the previous level, use the up command.
•
To exit L&TT, use the exit command.
•
On most of the screens, entering a blank command (pressing Enter without typing any other
text) displays a Command Help screen. This screen contains a list of valid commands that can
be executed on the screen from which the Command Help screen was accessed.
•
You can enter a command directly from the Command Help screen. To do this, type either the
number of the command or the name of the command and press Enter. Entering the number
of the command only works on the Command Help screen. From any other screen, you must
type the full name of the command. To exit the Command Help screen, enter a blank command
(press Enter).
•
Some commands require an argument. For example, the select command requires a number
that corresponds to the device you want to select in the device list. To select the first device
in the list, the syntax is: select 1
•
If you enter a command with an invalid or missing argument, an error message is displayed.
The Command Help screen is displayed, as shown in
