The menu displays the available operations you may perform. Select the
utility you wish to execute.
Starting X.400
Before starting
X.400, be sure that HP-UX nftdaemon
is running (if you have configured an HP X.400/HP Desk Node),
the Sendmail daemon is running (if you have configured a Sendmail
connection),
and the LAN interface
is functioning.
The START
operation starts specified components of X.400 (MTA, RTS, encoder,
decoder, x4xfer, and x4mailer). All components must be started for
messages to be successfully delivered.
To use this operation,
* Select START from the Perform X.400 Maintenance Menu.
This displays the Start X.400 window.

You can determine the status of the component
by one or more of the following methods:
* Check for shutdown messages on the console
.
* Check the event logs for shutdown messages
.
* Display the status of a component by using the PROCESS
operation located on the Monitor X.400 Status Menu (refer to
Chapter 3, Monitoring X.400, for more information about the
PROCESS operation). You can also use the x4stat
command to display the status of a component (see Appendix B of
this manual for more information about the x4stat command).
To cancel
this operation,
* Press the Exit Task key.
See the x4stop command in Appendix B to run this operation from the HP-UX
prompt.
Backing Up the Configuration
The BACKUP operation only backs up X.400 configuration files and/or log
files. It does not back up configuration information for any other
software. Use the normal backup procedures to back up configuration
information for the other software.
Use this operation
after initial configuration and before product updates to save
configuration files, and to archive log files for your records, or to
transfer files to HP during problem diagnosis.
NOTE All X.400 files are backed up during normal HP-UX disk backup
operations. Use BACKUP
on systems dedicated to X.400 and/or systems where disk backups are
not performed on a regular basis. It is not required that BACKUP
be used to successfully back up X.400 log files and/or
configuration files. However, if the configuration files are
restored without using RESTORE, the following files need to be
removed after the restore is complete: /usr/lib/x400/*.conf.new
and /usr/lib/x400/*.conf.trn
. Use of BACKUP is optional.
To run this operation,
* Select BACKUP from the Perform X.400 Maintenance Menu.
This displays the Backup X.400 window.
![[]](../../pic3k/M011856/FFN93c50.gif)
Figure 2-6. Backup X.400 Window
The fields on this window are
:
Which files are to be backed up?
Configuration Files? (y
or n)
Default: y. Enter y to back up the
configuration files, n to not back them up.
Log Files? (y or n)
Default: y. Enter y to back up the log files,
n to not back them up.
Optionally, fill in the next field once you have selected the files to
back up:
Device File?
Enter the name of a tape device other than the
primary HP-UX tape device. If this field is
blank, the tape device used is the primary
HP-UX tape device.
To execute
the operation,
* Press the Perform Task key.
NOTE The tape must be loaded in the drive and ready to write.
To cancel
the operation,
* Press the Exit Task key.
See the x4backup command in Appendix B to run this operation from the
UNIX prompt.
Restoring the Configuration
The RESTORE
operation restores configuration files and/or log files from tape.
To run this operation,
* Select RESTORE from the Perform X.400 Maintenance Menu.
This displays the Restore X.400 window
.

Figure 2-7. Restore X.400 Window
The fields on this window are
:
Which files are to be restored?
Configuration Files?
(y/n)
Default: y. Enter y to restore configuration
files, n to not restore them.
Log Files? (y/n)
Default : y. Enter y to restore log files, n
to not restore them.
Optionally fill in the next two fields once you have selected the files
to restore:
Alternate restore
directory:
Default: name of the directory from which the
files were originally saved. Enter the name of
the new directory to which you wish to restore
the files.
Device File?
Enter the name of a tape device other than the
primary HP-UX tape device. If this field is
blank, the tape device used is the primary
HP-UX tape device.
To execute
the operation,
* Press the Perform Task key.
NOTE All X.400 files are backed up during normal HP-UX disk backup
operations. Use BACKUP
on systems dedicated to X.400 and/or systems where disk backups are
not performed on a regular basis. It is not required that BACKUP
be used to successfully back up X.400 log files and/or
configuration files. However, if the configuration files are
restored without using RESTORE, the following files need to be
removed after the restore is complete: /usr/lib/x400/*.conf.new
and /usr/lib/x400/*.conf.trn.
The tape must be loaded in the drive and ready to read.
To cancel
the operation,
* Press the Exit Task key.
See the x4restore
command in Appendix B to run this operation from the HP-UX prompt.
Changing the Login Password
The PASSWORD operation changes the login password for the x400 user.
To change the x400 user login password,
* Select PASSWORD
on the Perform X.400 Maintenance Menu.
This displays the Change User Login Password window.
![[]](../../pic3k/M011856/FFN113c50.gif)
Figure 2-8. Change User Login Password Window
The fields on this window are
:
User Name:
Display. This is the name of the user for
which the password is to be changed.
To change the password,
* Press the Perform Task key.
You are then prompted for the old password,
the new password, and the new password again to verify
that it is correct.
To cancel the operation,
* Press the Exit Task key.
See the HP-UX command, passwd
, to execute this operation from the HP-UX prompt.
Saving Old Log Files
The AGELOG operation prevents log files from becoming too large by saving
or aging the old log files and restarting the current log file. The name
of the aged log file is the name of the original log file with a
numerical suffix; thus the current log file named mta.evnt
is saved as mta.evnt.0.
NOTE Log files
can take up large quantities of disk space. Specifying a large
number increases the risk of running out of disk space
.
Do not remove event log files when X.400 is running. If more disk
space is needed, use AGELOG to age the event log files; and then
remove the aged files.
To run this operation,
* Select AGELOG
from the Perform X.400 Maintenance Menu.
This displays the Age X.400 Log Files window
.
![[]](../../pic3k/M011856/FFN123c50.gif)
Figure 2-9. Age X.400 Log Files Window
The field
on this window is:
Number of old Log Files?
Default: 1. Enter the number of old files you
wish to save.
If you have more than one log file, you must specify how many old files
you want to save. For instance, if you have log files mta.evnt and
mta.evnt.0, and you age mta.evnt again, you should specify the number of
old log files as two. You now have three log files: mta.evnt,
mta.evnt.0, and mta.evnt.1. The oldest log file has the highest
numerical suffix.
NOTE Only the most recent 200 files in /usr/spool/log/dslog are kept.
The following is an example of how the files are saved when you run the
command x4agelog 2 once a week for four weeks.
![[]](../../pic3k/M011856/FFN133c50.gif)
To execute
the operation,
* Press the Perform Task key.
To cancel
the operation,
* Press the Exit Task key.
See the x4agelog
command in Appendix B to run this operation from the HP-UX prompt. In
addition, x4agelog can be used with the HP-UX utility, CRONTAB, to
automatically age the log files. Refer to the HP-UX Reference Manual
Vol. 2: Section 1M for information on the CRONTAB utility.
