Configuring and Verifying HP OTS/9000
Overview of HP OTS/9000 Configuration
• Start configuration by adding /opt/ots/bin and /opt/ots/man to
your system path. This will save you some typing later.
• Run the osiadmin program. This program calls up the osiconf
program to do the OTS configuration tasks. When configuration is
complete, you return to osiadmin. See “Finding Your Way Through
OTS Configuration” for which configuration screens you’ll use.
• Start OTS for the first time.
• Perform the Local Loopback tests as the first test. It verifies
configuration of the local node through the link layer of the OSI stack.
• Perform the OTS Interoperability (IOP) tests (for Transport and
Session) next. This test verifies the connectivity of your local node to
other nodes on the network. It will confirm the interoperability of
your configuration up to this point. Refer to “Interoperability Testing”
in the OSI Troubleshooting Guide.
• When the IOP test completes successfully, you can add the services
layer to your network.
• After a successful services installation and verification, start the
service level IOP tests. Installation and configuration of the services
is described in the manual for each service.
To complete the following configuration instructions, refer to the
worksheets you filled out (see the chapter, “Gathering Configuration
Information”). The Remote System Worksheet supplies you with
information about the nodes with which you wish to connect. The Local
Parameter Worksheet will supply you with information about your local
subnetworks. You should have a Local Parameter Worksheet for each
subnetwork that the local node will attach to.
The tasks listed in this chapter are more or less in the order you will do
them.
