The Support Tools Manager (STM) manages the collection of support tools that you can use to
verify and troubleshoot system hardware. This chapter describes how to start and run STM using
graphical, menu-based, and command-line interfaces.
This chapter addresses the following topics:
• “Verifying STM Installation” (page 48)
• “Running Support Tools” (page 49)
• “Running the Logtool” (page 62)
Verifying STM Installation
Before you start STM, ensure that STM is installed properly. To verify that STM is installed properly,
