Configuration Files and the
config_parms.txt File
The most efficient way to configure HP OTS/9000 is by using the
worksheets in chapter 4, “Gathering Configuration Information,” of this
manual and the osiadmin facility. Using these will enable you to
configure the minimum set of parameters. If you are accustomed to
configuring your communications software using ASCII configuration
files directly, you can use this chapter and the information in the file
/opt/ots/doc/config_parms.txt to configure HP OTS/9000 the
same way. Using the parameters described in the config_parms.txt
file requires an in-depth knowledge of OSI networking. The configuration
files described in the config_parms.txt file are located in the
/etc/opt/ots/conf directory.
NOTE The config_parms.txt file is an ASCII text file that you can use to
search for OTS parameter information using any text editor. This
information is also contained in the compressed file
/opt/ots/doc/ots_addendum.ps.Z. Use the HP-UX uncompress
command to uncompress the file, then print the resulting
ots_addendum.ps file.
The config_parms.txt file provides the following information about OTS
parameters:
• The parameter description
• The file format
• The unit type
• The range
• The default
• The osiadmin status
• The dynamic status
• The osiconf/osiadmin screen name
• The osiconf/osiadmin field name
