Using OSI and OTS Tools

Managing Your Conﬁguration

Using osiconf

The osiconf program is an interactive conﬁguration tool you can use to

do the following:

• Verify that your conﬁguration information has been entered with the

proper syntax and range, and that it is consistent between OTS and

FTAM.

• Modify the OTS and FTAM conﬁguration ﬁles.

osiconf is most commonly used through osiadmin, but it may be

started alone. osiconf has two “modes:”

update/dynamic Only dynamic parameters can be modiﬁed. Changes

take effect when you run otsupdate. When dynamic

changes take effect, they are applied to the running

OTS or FTAM.

restart Can modify all parameters in this mode. Changes take

effect when otsstart is run (if this is the initial

conﬁguration), or when you reboot (if you’ve changed

an existing conﬁguration).

For more information, refer to the online HP-UX man page for osiconf.

Using osiconfchk

The osiconfchk program is a conﬁguration veriﬁcation tool that allows

you to verify the correctness of conﬁguration ﬁles prior to actually

starting the stack. Checks are performed to ensure that all required

information is present, that parameters are of the proper syntax and

range, and that information is consistent across conﬁguration ﬁles.

NOTE For X.400, osiconfchk checks only those parameters that are also

conﬁgured in OTS. The osiconfchk program does not verify the

correctness of the X.400 conﬁguration.
