Running ODE from the CD

To run ODE, the system must be at the Boot Console Handler (BCH). When the system is configured to boot to the operating system automatically, it waits 10 seconds for user intervention. You can press any key to stop the autoboot process and go to the main menu prompt.

The following steps describe how to run ODE from the CD:

1.Insert the HP 9000 Offline Diagnostics Environment CD in the CD drive.

2.Restart the computer to boot to the PDC (Processor Dependent Code ) prompt.

NOTE: The appearance of PDC prompts may differ from one computer to another.

3.At the PDC prompt, enter the search command for a list of bootable devices. For example:

Main Menu: < Enter command or menu > search

4.Select the CD-ROM device and boot from that device:

Main Menu: < Enter command or menu > boot P1

5.When prompted, answer y (yes) to interact with the Initial Program Loader (IPL):

Interact with IPL (Y, N, or Cancel)? y

This will return the ISL> prompt.

6.At the ISL prompt, enter the ode command to run the ODE program:

ISL> ode

This will return the ODE> prompt.

7.At the ODE prompt, enter the ls command to obtain a list of the offline diagnostics tools:

ODE> ls
