Managing External Resources
Revised: February 18, 2010, OL-16000-07
Introduction
This chapter tells you how to manage external resources provisioned on the BTS using administrative
(ADM) commands. External resources have two service states:
• Administrative—State the BTS user provisions for the resource link
• Operational—Physical condition of the resource link or the resource)
The two types of service states are independent of each other, for example:
A user places an MGW link in-service; its administrative state is ADMIN_INS. But that link
between the BTS and MGW is lost. The MGW link’s operational state is MGW_STATUS_DOWN.
A query of the MGW returns both the administrative state and operational state.
Viewing BTS System-Wide Status
BTSSTAT runs on any BTS host. Any valid UNIX user can enter btsstat from a UNIX shell to initiate
it. This command returns the following for all BTS components:
• Component id
• Side
• Host name
• Version
• Replication status
• Redundancy status
To run BTSSTAT from a non-BTS host, the configuration file needs the information in following table.
BTSSTAT ignores all other lines in the file.
