You can run ODE in one of the following ways:
HP recommends that you run the offline diagnostics tools using the HP 9000 Offline ODE CD for the following reasons:
If you do not have the HP 9000 Offline Diagnostics Environment CD, you can run the offline diagnostics tools from the system disk. Before doing so, consider the following:
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:
To run the offline diagnostics tools from the system disk, you must install the LIF-LOAD to the boot area of the system disk from the HP 9000 Offline Diagnostics Environment CD. LIF is a subset of the offline diagnostics tools for HP 9000 systems. After LIF is installed, you can boot the system disk to the ISL prompt, run the ODE program, and then launch the offline diagnostics tools from the ODE prompt. The following sections tell you how to determine whether LIF-LOAD is installed on the system disk, how to install LIF-LOAD on a HP 9000 system, and how to boot from the LIF volume.
Complete the following procedure to check if LIF-LOAD is installed on the system disk:
If ls returns ODE in its display list, LIF-LOAD is installed on the system. If it is not installed, see “Installing LIF-LOAD.” Complete the following procedure for installing the LIF-LOAD product to the boot area of the system disk:
The following steps describe the procedure to run ODE from the system disk:
