Online Diagnostics
The diagnostics software that is installed with HP-UX 11i v2 consists of the following
product bundles:
• OnlineDiag Bundle (see page 119)
• SysFaultMgmt Bundle (see page 121)
These bundles provide many tools to help verify, troubleshoot, and monitor PA-RISC and
Itanium.-based system hardware such as CPUs, memory, interface cards, mass storage,
and other devices.
To ensure the reliability of your computer system, HP highly recommends that you
install the OnlineDiag and SysFaultMgmt bundles with HP-UX 11i v2. Both bundles are
installed by default with any HP-UX 11i v2 Operating Environment.
OnlineDiag Bundle
The OnlineDiag bundle delivers the following tools:
• EMS Hardware Monitors
EMS Hardware Monitors allow you to monitor the operation of a wide variety of
hardware products and be alerted of failure or any unusual activities.
• Support Tools Manager (STM)
STM provides a set of online support tools, enabling you to verify and troubleshoot
system hardware, and to examine system logs.

— AD279A: PCI 64 port serial Mux Adapter

• Other, future cards have been pre-enabled.
• A new hardware monitor, called the Serial-Attached SCSI (SAS) Mass Storage
Adapter Monitor (dm_sas_adapter), is included for Itanium-based systems. It
monitors the HP SAS Mass Storage Adapter and generates events whenever an
abnormal activity is detected on the device.
