Using OSI and OTS Tools
Checking OTS Status: otsstatChecking OTS Status: otsstat
If connectivity problems occur, one of the first actions to take is to find out whether OTS/9000 and the network services are running. The otsstat command tells you if OTS/9000 is running and whether the OTS/9000 subsystem can successfully communicate with the X.25 and LAN software. The X.25 status is reported in terms of each card’s programmatic access name. The LAN status is reported in terms of the LAN interface name.
LAN status may be “running” or “NOT RUNNING.”
X.25 status may be:
running
NOT RUNNING not configured or not started
DOWN | level 2 is not running |
If the OTS/9000 subsystem is running, but X.25 or LAN is DOWN or NOT RUNNING, do the following:
1.Verify the X.25 network service is operational. If not, restart X.25.
2.Verify the LAN card is accessible. For example, perform a LAN loopback test.
3.If the OTS status still reports the X.25 or LAN as down, reboot.
4.Run osidiag to verify OTS/9000 can communicate over the X.25 link and/or over the LAN.
It is possible for OTS/9000 to be running after a network service (for example, X.25) has been stopped. The result is that applications (for example, X.400) will not be able to communicate over OTS/9000, if that particular network service is required.
