Release Notes for STM on HP-UX 11i V1.5 (Initial Release)

These release notes cover the HP-UX 11i V1.5 initial release of the Support Tools (diagnostics).

Overview

The Support Tools Manager (STM) provides a set of online support tools for HP-UX 11i V1.5 systems, enabling you to verify and troubleshoot system hardware, and to examine system logs.

STM offers several tool types, including information tools, verifiers, exercisers, expert tools, firmware update tools, diagnostics and utilities. Not all tools are available for the initial release of HP-UX 11i V1.5.


NOTE:

To get all the support tools (online diagnostics and monitors) for the RX9610 HP Server, you must load the Sept 01 release of the diagnostics. See:
"DIAGNOSTICS.readme for HP-UX 11i V1.5 (Sept 01)" at:

http://docs/hp.com/hpux/onlinedocs/diag/st/str_1120b.htm

The RX4610 HP Server can use either the initial (June 01) release or the Sept 01 release. The Sept 01 release has enhancements and bug fixes.

(Note that for these servers there are two model numbers, RX4610 and RX9610, which differ only by one digit: "4" vs "9".)


Documentation

For the latest and most complete information on STM refer to the Diagnostics section of Hewlett-Packard's online documentation Web site at:

This site provides manuals, tutorials, FAQs, and other reference material.

For the most current information on HP-UX 11i V1.5 diagnostics, see the following Web pages at the Diagnostics site:

Known Problems


Problem: Memory Page Deallocation (MPD) is not available on the RX 4610.

Symptoms: The Memory Page Deallocation (MPD), which runs on most current HP-UX computer systems, does not work on the RX 4610 computer. If you look in the activity log for memlogd, you will see a message saying, "unsupported device."

Cause/Action: MPD cannot be implemented on RX 4610, because of the design of that system. The memlogd daemon cannot run on it.



Problem: Online help may not work for xstm diagnostics.

Symptoms: In xstm (the graphical interface for online diagnostics), no online help appears when you enter a command for online help. The diagnostics themselves are still functional.

Cause/Action: Online help for xstm requires that the Netscape browser be installed on the computer. The xstm interface invokes the Netscape browser to display .htm files located in the diagnostics sub-directories on disk. (The mstm and cstm interfaces do not use the Netscape browser.)

The easiest way to install the Netscape browser is from the AR (Application Release) Media supplied with the computer.

Alternative: Using any computer, you can view online help for xstm, mstm, and cstm on the Internet at: http://docs.hp.com/hpux/onlinedocs/diag/stm/sth_summ.htm

Defect Reporting

Use CHART to report defects in STM. The project name is diag.stm.tools.hpux for individual tools, and diag.stm.ui.hpux for the user interface. If you don't have access to CHART, contact an HP representative to enter a defect for you.

Online Help

Online help has changed for HP-UX 11i V1.5. On previous operating systems, STM used the HP-Help system to display help information. With HP-UX 11i V1.5, help information is provided via Web pages.

The xstm platform will open a browser on the workstation and display help from files on the local disk. The same files are also available over the Web.

The mstm and cstm platform will display ASCII text for several help topics. For complete online help, consult the Web pages at the URLs located below:

Complete online help for xstm, mstm and cstm is available on the Web at: http://docs.hp.com/hpux/onlinedocs/diag/stm/sth_summ.htm

It is available on the local disk at:

xstm main help:
file:/usr/sbin/stm/catalog/C/HP-UX_B.11.20/ui/stmx.htm 

mstm main help:
