Managing External Resources

Revised: February 18, 2010, OL-16000-07

Introduction

This chapter tells you how to manage external resources provisioned on the BTS using administrative

(ADM) commands. External resources have two service states:

• Administrative—State the BTS user provisions for the resource link

• Operational—Physical condition of the resource link or the resource)

The two types of service states are independent of each other, for example:

A user places an MGW link in-service; its administrative state is ADMIN_INS. But that link

between the BTS and MGW is lost. The MGW link’s operational state is MGW_STATUS_DOWN.

A query of the MGW returns both the administrative state and operational state.

Viewing BTS System-Wide Status

BTSSTAT runs on any BTS host. Any valid UNIX user can enter btsstat from a UNIX shell to initiate

it. This command returns the following for all BTS components:

• Component id

• Side

• Host name

• Vers io n

• Replication status

• Redundancy status

To run BTSSTAT from a non-BTS host, the configuration file needs the information in following table.

BTSSTAT ignores all other lines in the file.
