Configuration and Management Tools
retrieve messages from the Event Management Service (EMS). The OSI/TS
Management Programming Manual describes this interface.
•
The interactive interface (sometimes called the human interface) permits users to
request status and configuration information, alter configuration parameters, and
retrieve messages from the Event Management Service (EMS), interactively. Some
practical configuration and event-message information is contained in this manual.
Refer to the OSI/TS SCF Reference Manual and the Event Management Service
(EMS) Manual for more information on this interface.
OSI/TS applications communicate with remote entities through the file system.
Standard naming conventions and procedure calls are used. Table 1-2
shows some of
the procedure calls that applications use to communicate with OSI/TS. Section 7,
NonStop Kernel File-System Interface describes these procedures in detail.
Configuration and Management Tools
Compaq helps you configure and manage the system in the following ways:
SYSGEN and DSM
For D-series systems, the system generation (SYSGEN) program initially configures
and starts up the operating system and the X25AM and TLAM subsystems which
provide the NSP processes.

Sets and retrieves subdevice parameters.
Prepares for out-of-sequence procedure-
call completions.
CONTROL CONTROL Establishes connections between OSI/TS
and the remote transport entity.
Terminates connections between the
application and the remote transport
entity.
READ, WRITE, and
WRITEREAD

and
WRITEREAD
Establishes connections between OSI/TS
and the remote transport entity. Performs
data transfer. Terminates connections
between the application and the remote
transport entity.
CLOSE FILE_CLOSE_ Allows your application to close the
OSI/TS subdevice.
Terminates connections between the
application and the remote transport
entity.
