Management Environment for
OSI/MHS
OSI/MHS is an OSI application that uses the OSI/AS subsystem for underlying OSI
services. OSI/MHS uses OSI/AS to communicate with other message transfer agents
(MTAs) and user agents (UAs). OSI/MHS also supports Distributed Systems
Management (DSM) facilities for subsystem management.
This section describes the tools for managing OSI/MHS. These tools consist of
components both within and outside of the OSI/MHS subsystem. This section
describes:
•
The OSI/MHS management components, including:
•
MHS manager process

OSI/MHS Management Components
The following subsections describe the MHS manager process and the OSI/MHS
databases.
MHS Manager Process
Each OSI/MHS subsystem has an MHS manager process. The MHS manager
manages some tasks automatically and others by executing your configuration and
