Using OSI and OTS Tools

Checking OTS Status: otsstat

If connectivity problems occur, one of the ﬁrst actions to take is to ﬁnd

out whether OTS/9000 and the network services are running. The

otsstat command tells you if OTS/9000 is running and whether the

OTS/9000 subsystem can successfully communicate with the X.25 and

LAN software. The X.25 status is reported in terms of each card’s

programmatic access name. The LAN status is reported in terms of the

LAN interface name.

LAN status may be “running” or “NOT RUNNING.”

X.25 status may be:

running

NOT RUNNING not conﬁgured or not started

DOWN level 2 is not running

If the OTS/9000 subsystem is running, but X.25 or LAN is DOWN or

NOT RUNNING, do the following:

1. Verify the X.25 network service is operational. If not, restart X.25.

2. Verify the LAN card is accessible. For example, perform a LAN

loopback test.

3. If the OTS status still reports the X.25 or LAN as down, reboot.

4. Run osidiag to verify OTS/9000 can communicate over the X.25 link

and/or over the LAN.

It is possible for OTS/9000 to be running after a network service (for

example, X.25) has been stopped. The result is that applications (for

example, X.400) will not be able to communicate over OTS/9000, if that

particular network service is required.
