Another tool that you can use for troubleshooting is the System Exerciser, or SX.
The system exerciser is loaded into the TELESUP account as part of the fundamental
operating system.
On systems with HP-UX, SX is not installed as part of the fundamental operating system. SX
is available on standalone tape. Other exercisers are available in a collection of tools called the
Support Tool Manager. You can find out more information by referring to the Support Tool
Manager document that is part of the Diagnostic Manual set.
Offline Diagnostics
There are some times when you will want to use offline diagnostics instead of online
diagnostics:
• If the operating system will not run.
• You don't want to jeopardize the integrity of the operating system.
• You suspect some potential problem with the operating system.
The offline diagnostics for this family of systems and future systems are contained in a shell
called ODE, which stands for Offline Diagnostic Environment. ODE is available on the
Support Tape. One program, Mapper, is available on disk. To access ODE, you will need to
boot to ISL and interact with IPL.
When you get the ISL prompt, type "ODE" to run the offline diagnostic environment. It will
take a few minutes to load ODE from tape. To get a list of the tests available, type "ls" at
the ODE prompt. ODE contains CPU, memory, and I/0 tests, as well as a firmware update
tool.
ODE is one of the modules available at ISL. You can find detailed information about other
offline diagnostics in the Diagnostic Manual set.
