Online Diagnostics

The Online Diagnostics software is a collection of tools that enables you to monitor and test server

hardware. It comprises the Event Monitoring Service (EMS) framework, the EMS Hardware Monitors, and

the Support Tools Manager (STM).

Note: On the HP-UX 11i v3 operating system, Online Diagnostics does not support tape drives. Although

some of the Support Tools Manager (STM) tools may work with tape drives, they are not supported. The

diagnostic tools and utilities that support these devices are HP StorageWorks Library and Tape Tools (L

and TT). These tools are available at:

http://www.hp.com/support/tapetools

The Online Diagnostics tools are all contained in a Software Depot (SD) bundle, called the OnlineDiag

bundle. This bundle is distributed in the following ways:

OE media

HP Software Depot Web site

Note: September 2009 release onwards, SysFaultMgmt will be the default monitoring mode. However, if

OnlineDiag is still desired, then a switch from SysFaultMgmt to OnlineDiag has to be done. Installing

only OnlineDiag will result in the monitoring of core hardware components being left out.

Prerequisites

Following are the prerequisites for installing Diagnostics and Support Tools:

EMS version A.04.20.31 or later

ProviderSvcsBase C.01.00.xx (March 2009) or later

The requirements are available on the Operating Environment (OE) media. ProviderSvcsBase: The ProviderSvcsBase product offers interface for user space processes (typically, but not limited to, WBEM Indication Providers) to retrieve error logs from HP-UX Kernel. Using these error logs, a user space process can generate event (WBEM indication or EMS event), when an event of interest occurs on the system.
