OSI Diagnostics

OSI Diagnostics

The osidiag (OSI Diagnostic) program allows you to verify that the OSI services provided by the HP network node are operational. You'll use osidiag throughout the remote interoperability procedures. It can also be used as a layer troubleshooting aid in determining the functionality of the suspect component. You can start osidiag from within osiadmin or directly from the HP-UX system prompt.

Table 3-2 shows the components of the OSI stack and the tests provided by osidiag.

Table 3-2	Tests Provided by osidiag
		Component	Test
		FTAM	Tests the communication between HP’s FTAM
		Initiator	Initiator and the specified remote responder.
		X.400	Four tests are available for X.400:
			• The RTS connection tests provide verification of
			HP’s ability to establish or receive connections
			at the RTS layer.
			• The User Agent connection test verifies HP’s
			ability to send an X.400 message and receive a
			delivery confirmation from the remote node. In
			order to provide more feedback to the user, this
			test will track message activity as the message
			transfers from one X.400 process to another.
			• The RTS loopback test does a local loopback test
			to verify that the RTS can communicate with
			OTS.
		ACSE/	Allows you to create or receive ACSE/Presentation
		Presentation	connections and send data.
		ROSE	Allows you to create or receive connections over
			ACSE/ Presentation /ROSE and issue and receive
			operation invocations.
