user guide for instructions on verifying and creating of the HPSP. When the partition is created, copy the files from the CD. Follow these steps:

1.Boot from the CD to the Launch menu.

2.At the Launch menu, select the option for copying the contents of the CD to the HPSP (Run CD Installer to install/update CD content to HPSP).

3.When you return to the Boot Manager menu, an entry for the HPSP as a boot device displays.

3.Start ODE by choosing the selection for ODE at the Launch menu.

Alternately, you can start ODE from the EFI prompt. To do this, change directories to \EFI\ HP\DIAG\ODE and enter the ODE command. For example:

fs2:> cd \EFI\HP\DIAG\ODE fs2:\EFI\HP\DIAG\ODE> ODE

Running ODE from the CD

The following steps describe the procedure for running the HP Integrity Servers and Itanium Workstations Offline Diagnostics and Utilities CD-ROM

1.Insert the CD into the CD drive and reboot. The system boots to the Boot Manager menu.

2.See whether the CD drive is listed as one of the boot devices on the Boot Manager menu:

•If the CD drive appears as a boot device, move the cursor to the line that contains it and press the Enter key. The CD will boot to the Launch menu.

•If the CD drive does not appear as one of the boot devices, select the item on the Boot Manager menu to add a boot device. Although this process can vary, the following steps reflect a typical procedure:

1.Confirm that the CD is in the CD-ROM drive.

2.Select Boot Option Maintenance.

3.Select Add a Boot Option.

4.Select Removable Media Boot.

5.Answer the prompts.

NOTE: You can give any response to the Boot Option Data Type prompt.

6.Exit the menu, then exit the Boot Option maintenance menu. You return to the Boot Manager menu.

7.Select CD drive as the boot device to boot from the CD to the Launch menu. After configuring the CD drive as a boot device, you will not have to add it again on subsequent boots.

3.Start ODE by choosing ODE on the Launch menu.

Alternately, you can start ODE from the EFI (Extensible Firmware Interface) prompt. To do this, change directories to \EFI\HP\DIAG\ODE and enter the ode command. For example:

fs2:> cd \EFI\HP\DIAG\ODE fs2:\EFI\HP\DIAG\ODE> ode

Non-ODE Tools on the CD

The HP Integrity Servers and Itanium Workstations Offline Diagnostics and Utilities CD-ROM also provides a collection of non-ODE based diagnostic utilities. The following list describes several of those utilities:
