Create a system configuration file describing all of the boards in your system. oamsys creates the records, and then directs NMS OAM to start the boards, configured as specified. The system configuration file is typically named oamsys.cfg. By default, oamsys looks for a file with this name when it starts up. Refer to the NMS OAM System User's Manual for specific information on the syntax and structure of this file.
Note: You can use the oamgen utility (included with the NMS OAM software) to create a sample system configuration file for your system. The system configuration file created by oamgen may not be appropriate for your configuration. You may need to make further modifications to the file before running oamsys to configure your boards based on the file. For more information about oamgen, refer to the NMS OAM System User's Manual.
