Using OSI and OTS Tools

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.

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.

connections and send data.

 

 

 

 

 

 

ROSE

Allows you to create or receive connections over

 

 

 

ACSE/ Presentation /ROSE and issue and receive

 

 

 

operation invocations.
