History
With MPE/iX 6.5, the Support Tools Manager (STM) replaced the SYSDIAG online diagnostic system on HP e3000 computer systems. SYSDIAG had been the online diagnostic system for HP e3000 systems for more than 13 years. STM is distributed on the Fundamental Operating System (FOS) tape on MPE/iX 6.5 and subsequent releases. When MPE/iX is installed, the SYSDIAG diagnostic system will be removed and STM will be installed. STM is fully enabled after the system is updated with the Customized System Load Tape (CSLT) and networking is configured and enabled for remote access. It is wise to verify STM after installation by typing cstm at the OS prompt.
Known Problem
There is a known problem that exists both on the MPE/iX 7.0 and 6.5 versions of STM. You must shut down the STM daemons before executing the "RESTORE @.@.@" command using a backup tape with STM files. Otherwise, the STM files may be corrupted and STM may have to be reinstalled. To shut down STM, enter the daemonshutdown (dsd) command at the cstm prompt. After the RESTORE command has finished executing, restart the daemons with the daemonstartup (dsu) command at the cstm prompt.
