Using OSI and OTS Tools

OSI Diagnostics

The osidiag (OSI Diagnostic) program allows you to verify that the OSI

services provided by the HP network node are operational. You'll use

osidiag throughout the remote interoperability procedures. It can also

be used as a layer troubleshooting aid in determining the functionality of

the suspect component. You can start osidiag from within osiadmin or

directly from the HP-UX system prompt.

Table 3-2 shows the components of the OSI stack and the tests provided

by osidiag.

Component Test

FTAM

Initiator

Tests the communication between HP’s FTAM

Initiator and the speciﬁed remote responder.

X.400 Four tests are available for X.400:

• The RTS connection tests provide veriﬁcation of

HP’s ability to establish or receive connections

at the RTS layer.

• The User Agent connection test veriﬁes HP’s

ability to send an X.400 message and receive a

delivery conﬁrmation from the remote node. In

order to provide more feedback to the user, this

test will track message activity as the message

transfers from one X.400 process to another.

• The RTS loopback test does a local loopback test

to verify that the RTS can communicate with

OTS.

ACSE/

Presentation

Allows you to create or receive ACSE/Presentation

connections and send data.

ROSE Allows you to create or receive connections over

ACSE/ Presentation /ROSE and issue and receive

operation invocations.
