NAME

       stm, xstm, mstm, cstm -	Support Tools Manager

SYNOPSIS

       /usr/bin/stm [-x|-m|-c] [-f command_file]

       /usr/sbin/xstm [-f command_file]

       /usr/sbin/mstm [-f command_file]

       /usr/sbin/cstm [-f command_file]

DESCRIPTION

       The Support Tools Manager (STM) provides three interfaces that allow a user access to an underlying toolset, consisting of information mod-
       ules, firmware update tools, verifiers, diagnostics, exercisers, expert tools, and utilities:

       XSTM -  the graphical interface (for X11-based graphics terminals)

       MSTM -  the menu-based interface (for non-X11-based, non-graphics terminals)

       CSTM -  the command line interface (for running scripts)

       Which interface you choose will depend upon your needs, preferences, and resources as a user.

       If STM is run and [-x|-m|-c] is not specified, then:
	  If the "DISPLAY" environment variable is set, XSTM is run.
	  If the "DISPLAY" environment variable is not set, MSTM is run.

   Application Usage
       This tool will be deprecated on new server models. Please use System Management Homepage (see hpsmh(1M)).

OPTIONS

       -x

       The XSTM program is the X-Windows interface for the Support Tools Manager (STM).  It allows you to access and  run  various  support  tools
       (information  modules,  firmware  update  tools,  verifiers, diagnostics, exercisers, and utilities, depending upon your level of licensing
       privilege) on one or more PA-RISC machines.

       You can run XSTM on one machine, and use it to run support tools on one or more remote machines (Units  Under  Test,  or  UUTs).   Alterna-
       tively,	you  can  run XSTM on one machine, and use it to run support tools on the same machine (i.e., the machine running XSTM and the UUT
       are one and the same).

       The basic principle of XSTM usage is that you see a display of the legacy devices configured on the UUT (the legacy system map,	or  legacy
       device  map) when you first run the interface.  Alternatively, display of the agile devices configured on the UUT (the agile system map, or
       agile device map) can be seen by selecting the "View Agile Map" option in the "System" menu.  For  information  about  legacy  devices  and
       agile  devices see  intro(7) manpage.  By clicking on one or more icons representing the device(s) you want to test, or whose logs you want
       to view, and using the appropriate pulldown and popup menus, you can test your system to see if it is functioning properly.   Any  problems
       with  your  system will be reflected by color changes to the icons in the device map (e.g., red for "Failure"), in its legacy view or agile
       view or both the views (if a device is represented in both the views, the color change will be reflected in both of them).  By viewing  the
       corresponding log (e.g. the Failure Log), you can then determine the appropriate corrective action to take.   Use the Help pulldown menu to
       access the online help system.

       -m

       The MSTM program is the menu interface for the Support Tools Manager (STM).  It provides the same functionality as  XSTM  described  above.
       The  device map is a list of devices on the Unit Under Test (UUT).  You select devices by moving the cursor with the up and down arrow keys
       to the line entry for the desired device(s).  You issue commands by means of  function  keys.   Any  problems  with  your  system  will	be
       reflected  by  changes  in the "Last Op Status" column of the device map.  By viewing the corresponding log (e.g. the Failure Log), you can
       then determine the appropriate corrective action to take.  Press the help function key to access the online help system.

       -c

       The CSTM program is the command line interface for the Support Tools Manager (STM).  It provides the same functionality as  XSTM  described
       above.	Entering  the  command "map" displays a list of legacy devices (the legacy device map) on the Unit Under Test (UUT).  Entering the
       command "amap" displays a list of agile devices (the aglie device map) on the Unit Under Test (UUT).  You select devices  by  entering  the
       hardware  path or device number for the desired device(s); use the command "select path" or "select device".  Any problems with your system
       will be reflected by error, warning, or caution messages displayed by the system.  By viewing the corresponding log (e.g. the Failure Log),
       you can then determine the appropriate corrective action to take.  Entering the command "help" displays a summary of the cstm commands; the
       command "help all" gives you full access to the online help system.

       -f command_file

       The "-f" option allows the user to specify a CSTM command file to run prior to bringing up the selected User Interface.	Multiple "-f  com-
       mand_file" options can be provided and the command files will be processed from left to right.

HELP

       Topics available are:

       On Item has context-sensitive information on specific help topics (XSTM only).

       On Tasks has cookbook procedures for performing common system tasks using STM.

       On Application has general information about the Support Tool Manager.

       On Help has information about the HPHelp product.

       On Version displays a banner with copyright, version, and legal information about STM.
