Offline Diagnostics Environment Administrator's and User's Guide

4 Performing Common ODE Tasks
This chapter shows how to use ODE tools to perform common tasks and lets you see how ODE
reacts when detecting a problem.
The offline diagnostics tools that run on Integrity Systems and Itanium worksations and on HP
9000 systems are similar in syntax and functions; the primary differences are in the names of the
tools and the way they are launched. Keep this in mind as you review the examples in the
following sections. The output in either section will be similar to what you will see, regardless
of which system you are diagnosing.
Running ODE Tools on Integrity Systems and Itanium Worksations
This section shows the output of tools run on Integrity Systems and Itanium worksations systems.
The complementary tools for HP 9000 systems will produce similar results. The following
examples are provided:
• Loading and running a test module.
• Using the two test modules together.
• Viewing an error detected by a test module.
• Obtaining a list of the tools supported by your platform.
• Examples that show the ODE output for various invalid commands.
Loading ODE and Running a Test Module
The example in this section shows the following information:
• The ODE startup banner
• Running the test module cpudiag for the first time.
• Running cpudiag for a second time (the banner information is not displayed).
• Running the cpudiag help command
• Setting and using environmental variables.
• Exiting cpudiag and ODE
