Running Offline Diagnostics and Utilities
Offline diagnostics and utilities can be run from the Support Plus CD-ROM, when it is used as bootable
media:
Step 1. Boot the computer system to the Boot Console Handler (BCH) prompt (for example,
BOOTADMIN>), and enter search for a list of bootable devices.
Step 2. Select the CD-device and boot from that device (for example, BOOTADMIN> bootSCSI.3.3.).
Step 3. At the ISL prompt, enter ODE.
NOTE
Step 4. Enter help for a list and description of available commands. Enter help <command> or help <var>
for additional information.
Step 5. To list the ODE modules that will run on the current computer system, enter ls at the ODE prompt.
Step 6. To run an ODE module interactively, enter the module name at the ODE prompt. Once the ODE
module loads, enter help for a list of commands.
Step 7. To run a module non-interactively, enter run at the ODE prompt.
For complete information on offline diagnostics, see Chapter 3 in the Support Plus: Diagnostic User's Guide or
