This section discusses software prerequisites for installing the Online Diagnostics software. It also lists the supported hardware and any special requirements they have.

Following are the prerequisites for installing the Online Diagnostics software:

  • PHKL_32653 (diag2) kernel patch

    NOTE: This patch is required for HP-UX 11i v2 systems only.
  • HP Serviceguard version A.11.04 or later for package failover

Both requirements are available on the Operating Environment (OE) media.

Table 2-1 lists the supported disk array devices and their requirements.
