Installation guide

Remote STREAMS Environment
7-6 Fault Tolerant System Administration (R1004H) HP-UX version 11.00.03
Customizing the orsdinfo File
RSE passes data from the kernel to the communications adapters. The
/etc/orse/orsdinfo file defines the mapping between instances of the HP-UX
operating system device and instances of a remote communications adapter
STREAMS device.
To configure RSE for your system, customize the orsdinfo file to reflect your
system configuration. After editing orsdinfo, run the otelrsd command to
activate the changes. For more information, see the orsdinfo(4) and otelrsd(1M) man
pages.
The otelrsd command is called by the /sbin/init.d startup scripts at boot
time to create special files as specified in DeviceName to reflect the new remote
STREAMS driver orsd defined in orsdinfo. If the orsdinfo file is edited, the
otelrsd command must be run for these changes to take effect.
Defining the Location for the Firmware
Before you configure ORSE, you must update
/etc/lucent/opersonality.conf to include a line for each card you install.
The format for a personality entry is as follows:
modelx personality hw_path firmware_file cxbparams_file
For example:
u916 X25 0/2/4/0 /etc/lucent/orseconfig /etc/lucent/tcxbinfo.file
For more information, see the opersonality.conf(4) man page and the
opersonality.conf template file, which is installed with the operating system.
NOTE
An RSE entry in the opersonality.conf file will not send an
M_ERROR message upstream, but an SS7 entry will.
The opersonality.conf file is read by the odownloadd daemon to determine
the exact physical hardware path and firmware file path for the cards. This file is
read when the /etc/lucent/odownload.conf file includes Personality
and Modelx definitions without specific hardware paths (indicated with an
asterisk). That is, the odownloadd daemon always reads opersonality.conf
when odownload.conf includes an entry with * in the H/w_path column and
RSE in the personality column. The odownloadd daemon is automatically
started at boot time. For more information, see the odownloadd(1M) man page.
