HP-UX 11i June 2001 Release Notes

HP-UX 11i Operating Environment Applications
HP-UX 11i Operating Environment (new at 11i original release)
Chapter 4 79
Offline Diagnostic Environment (ODE) is the platform for executing
offline diagnostics. Normally it is run from the Support Plus CD with the
system offline.
EMS Hardware Monitors allow you to monitor the operation of a wide
variety of hardware products and be alerted immediately if any failure or
other unusual event occurs. The EMS Hardware Monitors are started
automatically with no user intervention.
NOTE Since the initial release of HP-UX 11i, there have been numerous
changes to the Support Tools, including support for new devices, bug
fixes, and enhancements. These changes are described in the Release
Notes for STM and for the EMS hardware monitors at the web listed in
the section, “Documentation” on page 80.
The rest of this section describes the major differences between Support
Tools on HP-UX 11i and Support Tools on previous releases (HP-UX
10.20 and 11.0).
Impact
The HP-UX Support Tools have been modified to support new products,
such as Superdome systems.
With HP-UX 11i, the Support Tools are automatically installed when the
Operating Environment bundle is installed from the HP-UX 11i
Operating Environment CD. It is no longer necessary to load the Support
Tools from the Support Plus Media.
The Support Plus Media, also containing the Support Tools, will continue
to be distributed. As always, offline tools are run from the Support Plus
CD, and they cannot be run from the HP-UX 11i Operating Environment
CD.
NOTE As of HP-UX 11i, Predictive Support is no longer distributed with the
Support Tools.
Disk space required by the HP-UX 11i Support Tools is comparable to
the disk space required for previous releases (in the range of 60-70MB).
