Using OSI and OTS Tools

Starting OTS: otsstart

This section tells you how to start OTS/9000 directly from the HP-UX

shell command line. See the section “To Start OTS/9000,” in chapter 5 of

the OSI Transport Services manual, for how to start OTS/9000 from

osiadmin.

otsstart starts the protocol subsystems, and the CONS and CLNS

parts of the network layer. This command requires super-user capability.

Before executing otsstart, make sure the following are true:

• The OTS/9000 subsystem is conﬁgured.

• The X.25 software is conﬁgured and started, if used.

• The LAN link is running, if used.

• No X.25 layer 3 applications (that is, x25server, x29server) are

running, if null subaddressing is used.

Syntax

otsstart

path: /opt/ots/bin

OTS/9000 can only be started once per system boot-up. Subsequent

invocations of otsstart have no effect. To check whether OTS/9000 is

running, see otsstat later in this chapter.

Example

The following example shows otsstart executed when OTS detects a

problem with the LAN card and the X.25 cards:

Startup log:

OTS: running

lan0: NOT RUNNING

telenet: NOT RUNNING

telenet1:DOWN

1. Check to make sure that lan0 LAN and the telenet and telenet1

X.25 links are running and properly conﬁgured. X.25 may be:

NOT

RUNNING not conﬁgured or not started
