Obtaining Information About a Server
•
Specifying the PARAM SOCKET^TRANSPORT^NAME at a TACL prompt before
starting your OSS shell
•
Defining the OSS shell environment variable SOCKET_TRANSPORT_NAME before
starting inetd.
The ability to change transport-provider processes is useful when your node runs
several copies of its TCP/IP processes and you want to do load-balancing among
them. For example:
•
The following PARAM allows the $ZTC2 process to be used as the inetd
transport-provider process:
PARAM SOCKET^TRANSPORT^NAME $ZTC2
•
The following environment variable allows the $ZTC2 process to be used as the
inetd transport-provider process:
export SOCKET_TRANSPORT_NAME=\$ZTC2
You start the portmap program from a Guardian TACL prompt or using the OSS shell
gtacl utility.
Obtaining Information About a Server
You can obtain the following information:
•
Whether a server is running in the Guardian environment, as described in
Determining Whether a Server Is Running on page 4-36.
•
The current configuration of an OSS name server, OSS sockets local server, OSS
message-queue server, or OSS transport agent server, as described in
Determining the Current Configuration of a Server on page 4-38.
•
Usage and configuration information for certain network services servers, as
described in Determining Usage and Configuration of Network Services Servers on
page 4-39.
Determining Whether a Server Is Running
You can determine whether the following servers are running:
•
A server used by the OSS environment but not administered through the OSS
Monitor, as described in Checking Servers in the Guardian Environment That Are
Not Administered Through the OSS Monitor on page 4-37.
•
A server used by the OSS environment and administered through the OSS
Monitor, as described in Checking Servers That Are Administered Through the
OSS Monitor on page 4-38.
•
A server running in the OSS environment and not administered through an SCF
interface, as described in Checking Servers That Run in the OSS Environment on
page 4-38.
