These routines perform functions such as I/O, string parsing, and system control.

The ODE tools are provided on CDs for Itanium systems (See “Obtaining the Latest Version of ODE” (page 9)) and HP 9000 systems (See “Obtaining the Latest Version of ODE for HP 9000 Systems” (page 14)). You can order the CDs free or you can download the CD image and burn your own CD.

ODE Limitations

The Offline Diagnostics Environment cannot be used on all systems and the way it is distributed has recently changed for HP 9000 systems. The following sections describe these limitations.

V-Class Systems

Offline diagnostics on V-Class systems are different from offline diagnostics on all other HP systems.

The offline diagnostics tools for V-Class systems are not supplied on the Offline Diagnostics and Utilities CD. Instead, they are run from the V-Class Test Station. For procedures and details, see the V-Class hardware documentation.

RX4610 and RX9610 systems

The Offline diagnostics tools for RX4610 and RX9610 systems systems are different from the ODE diagnostics provided for other HP Integrity servers and Itanium-based workstations. For more

Support Plus Media for HP 9000 systems

ODE for HP 9000 systems was distributed on the Support Plus Media until the June 2005 release (PA0506). Since the September 2005 release (PA0509), ODE is distributed only on the HP 9000 Offline Diagnostics Environment CD-ROM.
