HP OSI Transport Services/9000 (C.13.00 for HPUX 11.31) Introduction HP OSI Transport Services/9000 (OTS/9000) is the OSI networking stack of HP-UX. It provides functions of OSI Layers 3 (Network), 4 (Transport), 5 (Session), 6 (Presentation) and ACSE/ROSE over X.25, FDDI and IEEE802.3 LAN interfaces. It also provides RFC1006 that allows users to run OSI Services over TCP connections.
1. Support to multiple RK6 (RFC1006) NSAPs on a single system. The NSAP can be created dynamically or added statically by specifying in the ots_subnets config file. RK6 is used to configure OTS over TCP connections. 2. The number of LAN CLNS subnets is increased to eight from a previous limitation of five. 3. A flag OTSSTOP is added to the product. This feature can be controlled by turning ‘on’ or ‘off’ the OTSSTOP flag in the /etc/rc.config.d/ots. By default the flag is set to ‘on’.
upgrade to HP-UX 11.31 before Services/9000 version C.13.00. installing HP OSI Transport • HP 9000 networking link products such as HP LAN/9000, HP FDDI/9000 and HP X.25 products (High-Performance STREAMS-X25).
local LAN switchover. Workaround: A workaround is to verify that the interface configured for use in OTS is currently the functional LAN interface, before restarting OTS. 3. With RFC1006 subnet configured in ots_subnets, osiconfchk would report the following warning: :::::::::::::: /etc/opt/ots/conf/ots_subnets :::::::::::::: Line 28: ->snet_socket_size 4096 Warning: Unknown keyword. Line will be ignored. (CHK011) NOTE: This line cannot be corrected with osiconf.
Defect description The buffer which is used to hold the list of arguments for a series of x25init command invocations was limited to 500 bytes, when more arguments were added to X25_ARGS in /etc/rc.config.d/x25 file, it caused buffer overflow. Thus when the buffer is accessed by osiadmin, it dumps core. Resolution The buffer size is increased to max pipe size of 8Kb. 3.CR JAGae66284 Symptom osiping is hanging when CLNI application is running.
Symptom When second CR-TPDU containing option C7 (alternate transport class with value of class 0) is received within an existing network connection, the TPDU is rejected with cause 0x85. Defect description When the second TRANSPORT connection is received over the same X25 connection, the CR-TPDU has the Alternate Class option C7 coded to class 0. This second TRANSPORT connection is rejected by OTS with a DR-TPDU and reason protocol error(0x85).
Resolution Add 'stop' section to /sbin/init.d/ots script. Established a 'K' link (K620ots) to the above script from /sbin/rc1.d/ directory so that otsstop gets called during system shutdown. 8. CR JAGae94934 Symptom otsstat: Can't getmsg (Resource temporarily unavailable). Defect description Repeated calls to otsstat results in failure and otsstat returns : "Can't getmsg (Resource temporarily unavailable) registration failed". Running otsstat again returns the correct information’s.
10. CR JAGaf19418 Symptom Local LAN failover does not work with OTS (CLNS/LAN). Defect description When using OTS with Service Guard on a system running HPUX 11.23, local LAN switchover is not working for OTS. The standby interface is shown as DOWN by otsstat and no OSI traffic is going through. Resolution The code is modified appropriately and now otsstat shows the correct LAN interface name and status. This also results in OSI traffic going through. 11.
Symptom Rose decoding problem cause association to be aborted. Defect description The customer OVDM application gets disconnected after an association has been established and while receiving a ROSE-INVOKE-IND. Resolution This problem has been fixed by changing the code. 14. CR JAGaf47118 Symptom Wrong prototype for ses_connect_cf() in /opt/ots/include/osi.h Defect description The prototype declaration of ses_connect_cf () in /opt/ots/include/osi.h is wrong: argument "tokens_rq" is missing.
manually.PHNE_28888 doesn't have this problem. Resolution: CHK_PORT_STRING is not defined in the 'switch' . Code is changed to handle the field_type 'CHK_PORT_STRING' . 16. CR JAGaf54991 Symptom OTS panic in hp_lan_stat () with clnp subset 0 and lsap 14 Defect description The panic occurs when is OTS is started after setting clnp subset to 0 and lsap to 14. As the HPUX system must communicate through OTS with a remote ICL system, setting the lsap to 14 is mandatory for them.
[9600] High Access Method ERROR strosxtpi.c 4537 [....] (38) OsiTpiCONID() disconnect sent. When the XTI server program is bound to TSAP only, all is working fine. The XTI demo programs are failing as well. The problem only occurs with RFC1006 subnet. Resolution So the necessary code change is done to give a fix for this defect. 19. CR JAGaf66010 Symptom: When we tried to configure more than 5 CLNS LAN subnets using osiadmin it was failing.
