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
