HP UX 11i v2 Networking Software manual Updating OTS otsupdate

NOTE

Using OSI and OTS Tools

Updating OTS: otsupdate

Updating OTS: otsupdate

Chapter 5 of the OSI Transport Services manual describes many OTS configuration parameters as being “dynamic.” This means that you may change the values of these parameters and have them take effect while OTS/9000 is up and running. Non-dynamic parameters take effect only after the system has been rebooted.

After changing dynamic parameters with osiadmin or any ASCII editor, use the otsupdate command to cause the changes to take effect. If you’ve changed a non-dynamic parameter, the update process will not allow any updates to occur. The update process is very sensitive to the changing of non-dynamic parameters. For example, deleting and re-adding a local subnetwork (even with exactly the same values) could cause the update process to fail.

If changing parameters with osiadmin, you can restrict your updates to dynamic parameters only by setting the update mode to dynamic (D).

In general, parameters dealing with protocol layer operation (for example, timers), and parameters dealing with remote addressing (for example, destinations and routes) can be updated using otsupdate.

For additional information, see the manpage for otsupdate.
